Here comes old Ros ie, she’s his look in’ might y fine.

All it through gets the too shad ows, aw, when they come and they go

Here comes the rich man in his big, long lim ou sine.
Here comes the poor man, all you got to have is green.
Here comes the bank er and the law yer and the cop.
One thing for cer tain, it ain’t nev er gon (Eb)na stop.
