WHEN PA WAS A BOY
wisht at I'd Of been here when
My paw he was a boy;
In school he always took the prize,
lie used to lick boys twice his size
/ bet folks all had bulgin eyes
When my paw was boy
There was a lot of wonders done
When my paw was boy;
How grampa must have loved his son,
When my paw was boy!
He'd git the coal and chop the wood,
And think up every way ne could
To always list be sweet and good
When my paw was boy
Then everything was in Its place.
When my paw was boy
He never never disobeyed
Gee What a record they was made!
When my paw was boy!
wIsht at I'd been here when
They'll never be his IKE agen--
Paw the modde boy,
Raise up her voice and call my paw
The worst fool that she ever saw
