Such a friendly feller.
Kind to all the folks he'd meet
Highway, byway, home or street,
Always KEEP his temper sweet
Such a friendly teller!
Liked him. all the neighborhood,
Such a friendly Teller!
Jes' went round a doin' good,
Such friendly Teller!
Little children stopped their play,
When he CHANGED to pass their way,
In his face the sYnshine's ray
Such friendly feller!
Sad the world the day he died,
Such a friendly Teller!
All the little children cried,
Such friend& Teller!
Somewhere beyond where skies are blue,
- The Eternal Gateman, kind and true,
Somehow, think will pass him through
Such friendly Teller!
