American Old Time Song Lyrics: 24 The Old Tobacco Box
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 24
THE OLD TOBACCO BOX.
There was an old man
And he had a wooden leg.
He had no tobacco,
Nor no tobacco could he beg;
There was another old codger,
Who was as cunning as a fox,
He had lots of tobacco
In his old tobacco box.
Says codger number one,
Will you give me a chew?
Says' codger number two,
I'll be---if I do;
For if you'll save up your money,
And be cunning as a fox,
Faith, you'll always have tobacco
In; your old tobacco box.
