BILLY GREEN.
Billy Green was seldom seer
When fishing time drew near,
For such a sport with pole and line
Would make bis heart sublime.
With spade and can all brown and tar
Was seeking out the bait
And the old cow got to bawlin
And she broke down the gate.
When the poles we're taken out
And the lines all tangled round
He shook, quivered with achill
When he saw that great big hill.
So on Bill truged right down the hill
He had 10 pass the old brown mill
And the nan he howled good and stout
Say, Bill, your bait a tumblng out.
He got awful powerful mad
When he stumped his toe on a snag
There he sit down with a sigh
And watched the blue birds a fiyin
by.
And here a story Of a lad | tell
In which you all must remember
well,
or Billy Green, who vas seldom seen
When fishin time drew near
