Old Uncle Ned.

There was an old delegate. his name was Uncle
Ned,
He lived long ago. long ago;
he went to conventions whenever he was bid
And that's how he lived, long ago
Then lay down the shovel and the hoe
And hang up the fiddle and the bow,
There's no more work for poor Uncle Ned.
The primaries laid him low.
At all the conventions you'd ind Uncle Ned,
HIS name was always on the rolls:
He'd help nominate, but never could elect
For they wouldn't let him vote at the polls
Poor Uncle Ned got powerful good Job
sweeping up the post Office floor
But the civil service rules barred him out Of that
And he couldn't hold a Job any more
