PUTTING THE POP INTO POPULAR SONGS Wearing of the Green
O Paddy dear, and'did you,hear the news that's going 'round ?-
The lumber market is so queer, it hardly can be found. St. Patrick's Day or any day, it doesn't matter much: A price the Irish will not pay, and neither will the Dutch.
I met with Napper Tandy and I took him by the hand And I said, "How's poor old Business, and how does she stand ?"
"It is the most distressful market that ever you hav0
B,ecause you cannot sell the stuff, bone dry or wet and green." r
"Then since the market is so bad, the price so very low,"
Said I to Napper, "Maybe, lad, you helped to make it so.
Instead of standing where you stood when things began to slip,
You thought that any price was good as long as you could ship.
As long as you will take th,e price and let the lurirber go,
As long as you won't take advice, the himber will be low.
But, if you hold it, bye-and-bye a wonder will be seen : The folks who wouldn't take it dry will be glad to get it green !"
