Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 26

WE'VE ALL HAD 'EM.
Copyright,1890, by Harding Bros.
Written and sung by Barnes Duncan.

Misfortunes come to every man
And woman in this life;
And all of us have had our share
Of trouble, woe and strife.
Corns, warts and bunions are conferred
On folks the very best;
And even when we go to bed,
The bugs won't let us rest.

Chorus.
"We've all had "em. we've all had 'em,
Though some folks turn their noses up and cry: "Oh, my!"
We've all had 'em, we've all had 'em,
And if you haven't had 'em you will have them bye-and bye.

Most fellows have been a-courting,
And have thought it jolly fun;
To love some pretty little girl.
They've called their only one.
Then arm in arm they have strolled,
And wandered where 'twas dark;
And had some loving kisses, too,
Yes, I think I can remark:

Chorus.
We've all had 'em, we've all had em,
Those very loving kisses often makes the ladies sigh;
We'te all had 'em we've all had 'em,
And if you haven't had 'em you will have them bye-and-bye.

When men get married then's the time
Their little ones commence:
of coarse they must have their pleasures,
Bill they also have expense.
It's nice to think on frosty nights,
That as a fond papa;
You must get out and nurse the "kid,"
We know what babies are.

Chorus.
We've all had 'em, we've all had em,
Those very naughty "kids" that often make the ladies sigh;
We've all had 'em, we've all had 'em,
And if you haven't had em you will have them bye-and-bye.
