C01IIC SONGS. THE MERRY WIDOW.

  • l?tr, was a merry widow, and she was very fat,

8he had a heavy purse, and she wa'n't the wor9a for that; She was blind of one eye, and she squinted with thi? other; She had a wooden leg which hobbled with its brother, Going hopperry, kickerty, bow, wow, wow, Oh, beware of level beware of !ove, l ?She cocked her squinting eye at ?ne, I thought her noagt averse; I cast at .her, too, one sheep's eye, another at her urse; Then ? asked her for her hand, truly thinking I had won her; But s?e ?gave me her wooden foot plump in the seat ?f honor. Going hoppetty, I persevered and won her, and bore my prize away; But oh! she died of drinking upon. the W?lding-day? I came in for her thumping purse, just like a hive honey, But ! had all her debts to pay, and that boned air my Going hopperty? &o. M?. Dxt,, ta!low-ch?adler and dealer in fat, By love was reduoed till as thin as a rat.;
