Dogs (An Old Barbary Coast Song)
Byron
Coffin, Sr, performer.
What d'ya know about dogs a man said to me.
I don't know much about this pedigree.
It is easy to tell a female from the rest
For a female has gotta lot of little buttons down her vest.
Da-da-da-da.
A boy and a girl in the woods did play,
Saw a big black bear a-coming their way.
The boy in fright up a tree did climb,
The girl through the woods with the bear behind.
A man named Mr. {Begin deleted text} [Yeun?] was blind all his life;
Has seventeen children all by the same wife.
Why have you so many children? I said, Mr. Yeun,?
He said, I was blind and couldn't see what I was doing.
A girl from the city went out to milk the cow;
She thought she'd try, but she didn't know how.
A farmer came out, said, you've made a mistake,
That cow that you're milking, his name is Jake.
A sailor went into a restaurant in haste.
The waitress had an American flag wrapped around her waist.
The sailor looked up, said with a jag,
Many a [ good??] battle has been fought under that flag!
A teacher in school gave a lesson on the stars;
Asked little Johnny if he ever saw Mars.
Johnny looked up, answered so cute
Never saw Mars, but, gee, pa's got a beaut.
