The Manilla Boy - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE MANILLA BOY. 
I would not have a farmer That works among the dirt, I'd rather have the manilla boy That wears the ruffled shirt, That wears the ruffled shirt; I'd rather have the manilla boy That wears the ruffled shirt. 
I would not have a blacksmith That works among the coal, I'd rather have the manilla boy That carries the sack of gold, That carries the sack of gold; I'd rather have the manilla boy That carries the sack of gold. 
I would not have a miller That works within the mill, I'd rather have the manilla boy, Because his name is Bill, Because his name is Bill; I'd rather have the manilla boy, Because his name is Bill.
