The Wanderer (II)
“Where's old Bill?”
“durned if I kin tell,
He stuck around awhile,
But he got a restless spell.
Says he, `I'm getting' stale,
So I'll just move on
Somewheres on the trail,
Fer I can't keep still;
Never could,' says Bill.
An' with that he's gone!
So he may be on the land,
An' he may be on the sea,
Fer he had n't nothin' planned.
He jest says, says he:
`Now, I may be wrong,
but I gotta get along
while the goin' `s good
An' I'm feeling strong.
I've stood this job
Jest as long's I could!'
So on his knob he cocked his hat
An' the Lord only knows where
old Bill is at!”
