IS Sung by the Kinross Club at the Wool

| The following parody of this popular
ong as rendered by the Kinross
club at the close of the convention of
Soolgrowers:
Come along ye sheep aud mutton men,
and move yourselves around,
For there's gwine to be a meeting in
this good old railroad town.
And Judson of the o. Il. N. and herd
ers from the Sound,
Will be down at the Commercial Club
where good things do abound.
CHORUS.
| When you hear the music just begin,
Bend down low and drive away your sin,
And when you all get home you'll feel
as if you'd been
In a hot time IN the Old Town tonight.
Much discussions been INDUCED in
and considerable CAB
As to what's the best preventive of
that dread disease called scab,
But there's one thing very certain
that you've got the sheep to dip,
With tobacco. lime or sulphur, it mat
tiers not rip.
Oh. My friends consider the poor sheep,
how In comfort you they always keep,
And how they multiply, even when
you're all asleep,
Having hot timas in the old corral to-
night.
Now you jolly herders who are in The
Dalles tonight,
just listen to this poetry about an ex-
pected fight,
For Uncle Sam is watching and will |
drive out in his might,
The treacherous, greasy Spaniards, |
1ro Cuba's shores all right.
CHORUS.
When they go therell be prosperous
times down there.
And We'll get good tobacco and to spare
4 nd when the boys in blue march |
down Hayana's streets,
There'll be hot time in that Old |
Town that night.
And now when NJ. T. Nolan, who is
the mayor, I'll be bound,
Is presenting keys of freedom of the
clGy all AROUND,
'Twould be better for him not to slight
the railroad men in town,
Not even Niles, or Coleman, or Miss0u
in glDgham gown.
CHORUS.
When he hands the keys to the rail-
road boys,
Then he'll start up all their slumber
ing joys,
And when the show is DER, there'll be
nothing else in sight,
But hot time in the Old Town to.
night.
The trouble with The Dalles is that at
night there's ghosts around
Who frighten all the people with their
ghoulish looks and sounds,
Last night for instance, there was one
by many people seen,
Who scattered at his advent, and
sought their homes so keen.
CHORUS. J.
But one black coon determined to find
out,
What all this horrid mystery was
about.
He soon found out, Bob Wilson was
the sight, {
Having good time in the Old Town
tonight.
0f your streets aud asphalt sidewalks, $
you are very very proud,
A nd merit admiration from your guests
Don't speak it loudl
But the mayor gives his promise that 5
by 1904,
The sidewalks will be so improved,
your feot will not get sore.
CHORUS. !
