Of late I've been driven near crazy
All on
account of my wife.
She ran away with a Chinee
And left me to mourn all my life.
I
wrote her a million of letters
And asked her my faults to forget.
No matter how many I
wrote her,
These are the answers I get.
Wait 'til the gang on the corner
Refuses
to take a big bowl,
Wait 'til the bank robbers in Canada
Bring back all the money they
stole,
When Jay Gould and the great Knights of Labor
And all the trade unions
agree,
And the people don't back-bite their neighbors
Then, my darling, I'II come back
to thee.
She stole all my clothes and my money.
She left me as poor as a
mouse.
Her actions were awfully funny.
She stole all I had in the house.
But I wrote
her and said l'd forgive her
If she would but come back again.
This morning I received a
large letter
And this is what it did contain.
Wait 'til the actors and married
men
Agree with all business men.
Wait 'til we find one who's hen-pecked
That's in love with his mother-in-law.
When the K.C.'s and Eagles and Masons
Unite
in a grand jubilee.
When the Chinese rule this nation
Then, my darling, I'll come
back to thee.
