Four young men went out on lark,
They were healthy and happy and gay,
They may have stopped at Herman's Park
1 could not truthfully say.
They rode as far as they could on the car,
And still had ten miles to make,
But all of them said it would not seem far.
And they began to sing and talk.
They walked brisRly out the Bel Air road,
Till they neared the Old Toll Gate
They walked quite straight, in spite of their
load,
Though the hour was getting late.
The moon was shining as bright as day
AS those four men trudged along.
One said: "We'l joyfully shout, 'hurray!'
When we have finished this song"
my wife has gone to the country" said they,
When out of the woods there sprang
Twelve men, and before they could shout
hurrayi
Young H was knocked down with
bang.
Two out of the four were very brave
And ran as fast as they could,
But soon they were completely lost
AS the babes that slept in the wood.
They wandered around in the cold till dawn,
With many groan and shiver,
When they found themselves at Convention,
Not far from the shining river.
One of these men of sporting life
Was far too young, it ls said,
To have been away from his charming wife
He had better been home in bed.
