Poor Joaney she did sob
"Cheer up" says Ned "I'll leave the bed
And try and get a job"
He thought upon the iron last
And on its rivets cast
"In luck" he said "I'll get a job
At cobbling up the mast"They landed now in Boston
And both looked rather pale
"Cheer up" says Ned "My darling pet
We must travel far by rail"
They landed at the Windy City
On a sunny afternoon
And Ned took out his bagpipes
And rattled up 'Muldoon'.When they reached Chicago City
Their train came to a stand
And Joaney put on her hat and sack
And swore she'd do the grand
This little darling daisy
Looked like a gutted hake
And Ned said "My honey
Let us see the Worlds Fair"(continues on next page)
