Good-By Er Howdy-Do
Say good-by er howdy-do - What's the odds betwixt the two? Comin' - goin', ev'ry day - Best friends first to go away - Grasp of hands you'd ruther hold Than their weight in solid gold Slips their grip while greetin' you. - Say good-by er howdy-do! Howdy-do, and then, good-by - Mixes jes' like laugh and cry; Deaths and births, and worst and best, Tangled their contrariest; Ev'ry jinglin' weddin'-bell Skeerin' up some funer'l knell. - Here's my song, and there's your sigh. - Howdy-do, and then, good-by! Say good-by er howdy-do - Jes' the same to me and you; 'Taint worth while to make no fuss, 'Cause the job's put up on us! Some One's runnin' this concern That's got nothin' else to learn: Ef He's willin', we'll pull through - Say good-by er howdy-do!
