  1. Mac Gee's Back Yard

    Share Share Post
    The girl I loved was Kate Mac Gee.
    And her I went one
    night to see.
    There was no entrance
    for me.
    Unless by the back yard.
    The moment that I crossed the fence.
    A fearful growling did commence,
    Mac Gee's dog "Towser"
    my best trowsers.
    Seized and I felt scared.
    Chorus,
    I pulled, the dog pulled.
    Towser got the best of me.
