She expected Rose to marry, of

His pipe dropped from his mouth.

And when he wasn't half asleep

One night there was a big crap game,

He didn't have a single cent.
But shore was full Of grin.
Bull Wilson grabbed a razor blade
That he had freshly ground.
And carved Jim up and down the face
For moseyin' around.
And once there was a chicken raid
And Jim he had the Group;
He coughed so loud he scared the

And they All few the coop.
A big policeman heard the noise
And came up with a bound,
To find Jim with a lady hen

Bull Wilson had a date one night
With handsome Mandy Brown,
But Bull got drunk and showed up

And Mandy turned him down.
Now just as Bull was walking OF
