The Frighted Clown

Oh Lord! what a terrible fright I am in, Oh Lord! what a terrible fright I am in, When I never, I'm sure now commited a sin, When I never, I'm sure now commited a sin. Then, dang it, it wanted to take me away, Then, dang it, it wanted to take me away; But, says I, master ghost, I'd much rather stay, If it's all one to you I'd much rather stay. I'd much rather stay.

Two eyes big as saucers it certainly had, Two eyes, &c. Which blazed just as thof' for the world it was mad. Which blazed, &c. It look'd as it wished to take me away, It looked, &c. But, says I, master ghost, I'd much rather stay.

I never have done any harm in my life, I never have done, &c. Except when old Bridget I took for my wife, Except when, &c. And she has been dead for this many a day; And she has, &c. But mayhap it is her wants to have I away, If it's all one to she, why I'd much rather stay.
