Oh! the night was dark and dreary
The air was full of sleet
The old man stood out in the storm

Oh! King solomon had a thousend wives
And that's the reason why
He often missed his business train
By kissing them all goodbye

Now Mary had a little lamb
It had a sooty foot
In little Mary's bread and jam
His sooty foot he put

The way I tell the twins apart

Jim Slim was a tombstone maker
And he stacked 'em on a shelf
One day one fell on poor Jim's head
So he used it for himself

When the weather prophets say

For I've tried to make it plain
That even though your skies are dark
It ain't a-gonna rain
