“ He showed me the hole `at the Wunks is got,
`At live `way deep in the ground, an' can
Turn into me, er `Lizabuth Ann!
Ain't he a funny old Raggedy Man?
Raggedy! Raggedy! Raggedy Man!
The Raggedy Man---one time when he
Was makin' a little bow-'n-'orry fer me,
Says, "When you're big like your Pa is,
Air you go' to keep a fine store like his---
An' be a rich merchunt---an' wear fine clothes?---
Er what air you go' to be goodness knows!" ”
