DONTf STOP MY PAPER' ,Don't stop my paper, printer, Don't strike my nanie off yet- You know the times are stringent And the dollars hard to get; But tug a little harder Is what 1 mean ta do, And scrape the dimes together, Enough for me and you. I can't afford to drop it, I find it doesn't pay To do without your paper H-owever others may I hate to ask my neighbors To give me theirs on 10811; They don't just say, but mean it Why don't you have your own? You can't tell how we miss it, If by any fate, Should happen not to reach us, Or come a little late. Then ail is in a hubdub And things go ail awry, And printer, if you're married, You'll know the reason why, I cannot do without it, It is no use to try; The other people take it And printer s0 must I. I too must keep me posted And know what's going on Or feel and be accounted A foggy simpieton. Then take it kindly, printer, >1 pay is somewhat slow, For cash is not so plentyr And wants not few you know.
