Men at Work
i Once on a time there lived a man, His name was Peter Gray, He lived way down in that air town Called Pennsylvan-i-a.
Chorus:
Blow, ye winds of morning, Blow, ye winds, heigho, Blow, ye winds of morning, Blow.
2   Now Peter fell in love all with A nice young girl j
The first three letters of her name Were Lucy Annie Pearl.
3   Just as they were gwine to wed Her father did say no,
And quin-ci-cont-ly she was sent Beyond the Ohio.
4  When Peter heard his love was lost, He knew not what to say,
He3d half a mind to jump into The Susquehan-i-a.
5  Now Peter went away out West To seek his for-ti-an,
But he was caught and scal-pi-ed By blood-i In-di-ans.
6  When Lucy heard of this bad news About poor Peter Gray,
She wep* and wep5 and wepM-ed Her dear sweet life away.
[253 ]
