| - | |
| Affection's charm no longer gilds | B |
| The idol of the shrine | C |
| But cold Oblivion seeks to fill | D |
| Regret's ambrosial wine | C |
| Though Friendship's offering buried lies | B |
| 'Neath cold Aversion's snow | E |
| Regard and Faith will ever bloom | F |
| Perpetually below | E |
| - | |
| I see thee whirl in marble halls | B |
| In Pleasure's giddy train | G |
| Remorse is never on that brow | H |
| Nor Sorrow's mark of pain | G |
| Deceit has marked thee for her own | I |
| Inconstancy the same | J |
| And Ruin wildly sheds its gleam | K |
| Athwart thy path of shame | J |

| II THE HOMELY PATHETIC | L |
| - | |
| The dews are heavy on my brow | H |
| My breath comes hard and low | E |
| Yet mother dear grant one request | M |
| Before your boy must go | E |
| Oh lift me ere my spirit sinks | B |
| And ere my senses fail | N |
| Place me once more O mother dear | O |
| Astride the old fence rail | N |
| - | |
| The old fence rail the old fence rail | N |
| How oft these youthful legs | B |
| With Alice' and Ben Bolt's were hung | P |
| Across those wooden pegs | B |
| 'Twas there the nauseating smoke | Q |
| Of my first pipe arose | B |
| O mother dear these agonies | B |
| Are far less keen than those | B |
| - | |
| I know where lies the hazel dell | R |
| Where simple Nellie sleeps | B |
| I know the cot of Nettie Moore | S |
| And where the willow weeps | B |
| I know the brookside and the mill | D |
| But all their pathos fails | B |
| Beside the days when once I sat | T |
| Astride the old fence rails | B |

| I'm a gay tra la la | V |
| With my fal lal la la | V |
| And my bright | W |
| And my light | W |
| Tra la le Repeat | X |
| - | |
| Then laugh ha ha ha | V |
| And ring ting ling ling | Y |
| And sing fal la la | V |
| La la le Repeat | X |
