We've been companions true.
A closer friend | never saw.
My battered chum, than you.
And yet, while friendship is sublime.

When we shall say farewell
We've promenaded many street
On errands sad or gay.
I've chased you with untiring feet
On many a windy day.
At ball games l have sat on you.
Midst cheers I've tossed you high.
But soon the parting words are due.
Goodby, old straw, Goodby!
