HWORTH MAKESTHE WOMANH THE SONG OF THE LAZY FARMER VY' Z' 1 1 f- I had to stay in bed a spell Until my abdomen was well, Whe-re that there doctor felt about A-gittin, my appendix out. Of all the places I have been- The hospital that I was in Was most expensive, I won't tell How much I spent a-gittin' well. The bed was soft, the food was good, The doctor told me that I should Be thankful I was still around Instead of buried in the ground g But yet, when I have paid my bill. My banker's sure to have a chill At that there overdraft he,ll get, A- paying it will make him sweat. This place is hard upon my purse, But I have got a pretty nurse. She holds my hand, and tells me that Each day I'1n puttin' on more fat, She says she never had a gent, So handsome and intelligent, To be a patient on her floor I've come to like her more and more. An operation ain't so worse, Wheiz you can have so nice a nurse. I'm frettin' now for fear I will, Too soon git over bein' ill. I t's pleasant here without a thing To do, but jest to rest by jing, And visit with that nurse of mine. An operation sure is fine. -SELECTED. Page Thirty-three
