Our Singing Country
2  My father gave me a lump of gold. It pleased me mighty well;
It neither bought me a house nor lot, Nor saved my soul from hell.
3   My mother dear, so far away, Has give me good advice 5
She told me to quit my rambling way, And stay at home with her.
4  My sister dear, so far away. Has give me good advice;
She told me to quit my rambling way, And marry a pretty little wife.
AS I SET DOWN TO PLAY TIN-CAN
