Sad Tale Of Susie Jones.
Upon her bed lies Susie Jones.
And II is tor the reason
That she would gladly welcome death
By way OF some cold pizen,
She gave her heart TO Tommy White.
Engaged they were 10 marry,
When that young man he did begin
To cut up like old Harry.

And a-sparking Jennie Skinner
And fell In love with Bessie Lee

| He'll fade away like last years grass
And no one VIII regret him,

Then butcher knives and hangmen's rope,
And skeletons unnumbered
And drowned men fished up from the sea
| 10 choke him while he slumbered.

| Unless he gets hump on him
And doth proceed 10 hustle.
Two Loving Hearts Reunited.
