There's Teller come to our house,
An guess he's come to stay.
Cause he took up board and lOdgin'
AM he doesn't go away;
Seems to think he has mortgage
On the choicest an the best;
Amt content unless he's gittin'
More attention than the rest.
Hes mighty spunky Teller,
An has most a fearful frown,
But his smile is sweet as 'Iasses-
He's stranger in the town
Twas a dark an stormy evenin',
VITA the snow upon the ground
And the wind blowin' shrilly
When this stranger came around;
An il made a big sensation
'Mong the neighbors when they heard
We had taken in a boarder,
An a scene like this occurred:
-Irs- Jones run 'crost the alley
Jest to say to Mrs. Brown:
Have you heard the news, Matilda?
There's stranger in our town.
He's Fat an funny feller
Blu. his face is sort o. red,
An his mouths entirely toothless-
Not hair upon his head
Oh, his eyes are bright as di'monds,
Yet no glasses does he wear.
An his face is free from wrinkles
AS his head is free from hair:
So the girls from Hopkins Corners,
When they happen to come down.
Say: Hes jest too mortal charmin'-
Hess the incest chap in town.
Well he's been . boariin' here now
Since the January past,
An he's formed a friendship with Us
That I'm purity sure'n last.
Though he has his faults and failins
An he never pays a cent,
Yet think we'd raise objections
II he packed his kit and went;
Fer we make playthiug Of him
He is cutter than clown
An he's just the susetesc baby
