He went right down to th' public square An' fell in line with th' soldiers there. Th' sergeant put him in uniform, His gal knit mitts fer to keep him warm ; They drilled him hard, they drilled him long, Then he sang his farewell song: Chorus Good-by, Ma! Good-by, Pa! Good-by, mule, with yer old heehaw ! I may not know what th' war's about. But you bet, by gosh, I'll soon find out. An', O my sweetheart, don't you fear, I'll bring you a King fer a souvenir ; I'll git you a Turk an' a Kaiser, too.... An' that's about all one feller could do. 57 STRING STRING^S his nickname, Not his true — I don't know his name, do you? String — 'at's all we call him 'cause Wen he gits some in his jaws He ist chaws an' chaws an' chaws Till it's mighty nearly gauze. 'Nen he does another thing — Soon as w'en he gits some string In his pocket quick it goes An' his week an' Sunday clo'es Gits jammed with it, g^oodness knows, Till it's clear down to his toes. String an' string an' string an' string- If you want to hear him sing, Grin an' laugh an' ever'thing, Give him string !
