   So now the tea is ready boys.
   Get finished with the job.
   And have a bun says Lizzie Dunn.
   And slyly winked at Bob.
   Now tell me how did piggy die?
   The truth was never told.
   The doctor sighed and said she died.
   From hemmorage and from cold.

   But Andy says he stuck the pig,
   Before she ran away.
   Eh? What say you it may be true?
   'Tis very ahrd to say.
   It dosen't matter how she died.
   Al long as she is dead.
   Take my advice she's very nice.
   And Robin must be fed.
   XII
   So now good-bye my butcher boy,
   With many years of bliss.
   May every lass that sees you pass.
   Salute you with a kiss.
   And when the dear old Generalds dead.
   And parted with his life.
   There'll be a man to take his stand. And use the butcher's knife. Good-bye.
