A dear little messenger comes TO my door.
His complexion is white and black,
His home is n box both small and poor,
And he goes about in IA sack.
He has got no children he has no wife;
He only possesses a father,
Who gave him a penny to last him his life.
That won't last him out any farther.
When he's born at evening, he comes at morn,
And at morn our friend shall expire.
All, then he may wish he had never been born.
For I'll burn him to death in the fire.
