NURSERY RHYMES lyrics : "Dummy Line"

Across the prairie
On a streak of rust,
There's something moving

In a cloud of dust.
It crawls into the village
With a wheeze and a whine,

It's the two o'clock flyer
On the dummy line.
CHORUS:

Ridin' on the dummy,
On the dummy line,
The two o'clock just came in,

Tho' it's now half past nine,
Rain or shine
I'll pay my fine

Ridin' on the dummy,
On the dummy, dummy line.
I got on the dummy

And I didn't have my fare.
The conductor said,
"What are you doing there?"

He grabbed me by the collar
And he threw me out the door,
He said, "I don't want to see you

On the dummy line no more!"
CHORUS
I saw a snail

Go whizzing past;
The guy beside me said,
"This train is fast!"

Said I, "Old man,
That might be true,
But the question is,

What's it fast compared to?"
CHORUS
I said to the brakeman,

"Can't you speed up a bit?"
Said he, "You can walk
If you don't like it."

Said I, "Mr. Brakeman,
I'd like to take your dare,
But the folks don't expect me

Til the train gets there."
CHORUS
A queer looking lady

Across the aisle
Grabbed up her grips,
Looked at me with a smile;

"I must be off,"
She said to me;
Said I, "You're not kidding,

That's real plain to see!"
CHORUS
There was a doctor

By the name of Beck
He fell in the well
And he broke his neck;

It served him right,
As you may own;
He should attend the sick

And leave the well alone!
CHORUS
Farmer Jones,

He went out in a boat,
The boat turned over,
And we threw him a rope;

Said Farmer Jones,
"Well, I can't swim,
But I'll be drowned first

Afore I'll be roped in!"
CHORUS
A little boy

On his way home from school
Saw a dollar bill
At the foot of a mule;

He stooped right down
Just as sly as a fox,
You can see him at the hospital
Till seven o'clock.
CHORUS

I once had a girlfriend
Down in Mobile,
She had a face
Like a lemon peel.
She had a wart

At the end of her chin;
She said it was a dimple,
But a dimple turns in!
CHORUS
