Song (continued)
“The Brosna schemes are always teasing”
(continued from previous page)And he handed her a notice
Saying if you do not pay the balance
I will process you this momentI will auction off your articles
Your hammock and your sofa;
And I will write to captain Samsan "o"?
And land you in ManitobaClear off from here you dirty scamp
Or I'll brand you with the porker
You gave me bad commodity
And charged me two and four penceClear off you scheming rascal
or I'll brand you with the poker
Who gave you the authority
To auction off my sofa!His Con-go tay was turnig grey
I heard the Weavers boasting
It would kill the Danes with a musty taste
When they? no cash before himBy what I hear you are always drunk
And watching pints of porter
But I'll call the way next Saturday(continues on next page)- Collector
