  1. A Song (continued)

    If you pay attention and listen to my rhyme ¶ I'll do my best to please you

    (continued from previous page)
    they're shure to fight and make the neighbours yell.
    You should see the way they carry on in Donnelly's Hotel.
    I have a little house maid and she id neat and clean
    For tossing the soft feather beds her equal was ne'r seen.
    She is a charming creature and they call her little Nell.
    But gambling is not her job in Donnelly's Hotel.
