The tramp looked at the cavalcade
AS the King went by in his gilt and braid;
And he gazed and said, with heavy sigh,
THAT chap is certainly living high;
with all that a fellow would want to drink
And servants jumping at every wink,
And plenty of money and grub see
That King is fine old thing to bel"
Then a soldier thrust the tramp aside
AS the King went in his purple pride!
Time passed-and the mighty King lay dead
And the soldiers marched with measured tread,
And the tramp stood watching the cavaIcade
AS the dead King passed the dead march played:
And he said Poor fellow, his game Is done.
He's finished his drinks and had his fun;
"The musicIl play and the wine will flow
And the dancers dance-but He won't know,
"And the will shine and the breeze1I sigh
And color and life will greet the eye,
"And jewels will sparkle and birds will sing,
But he won't know it-that poor dead King
Hell Just lie there in a coffin, grim
And I'm the fellow who enved him!
"Envied Him-that poor dead clay
And I've got life and the light o. day,
"And grub-to rustic and drink to get;
And a lot of adventures haven't met,
"And many women and many
To find in places haven't been;
"A live tramp isn't so much" he said,
"But he's got the bulge King who's dead"
AS the bier went by he raised his cap
And whispered, smiling, Goodbye, old chap.
I'm sorry for you'll" and off he strode
Hunming song down the dusty road.
