VIII they miss me, will they care,
When they know I'll not be there?
Will they mill my dollar bill,
When they open up the till?
Will they miss my nickel smoke,
Where l always went dead broke
In the dining room to wait,
For my scallop- edged plate.
Will they miss me, will they weep,
When they lay me down to sleep?
Will they miss my husky voice,
Calling for a room, their choice,
Meath the rafters, where it's hot,
Or mid-winter, like as not,
Cold as Greenland's icy blast.

Will they miss my coin some day?
Will they miss me at the store,
Where they called me such bore?
Will they miss my order book,
And the orders that I took?
Will they grieve, and will they sigh,
Will they they ask the reason why
Will they miss just a bit,
When casket snug TIT fit?
