IF I should die to-night                                           #14
            And you should come to my cold corpse and say,
            Weeping and heartsick o'er my lifeless clay--
              If I should die to-night,
            And you should come in deepest grief and woe--
            And say: "Here's that ten dollars that I owe,"
              I might arise in my large white cravat
              And say, "What's that?"

              If I should die to-night
            And you should come to my cold corpse and kneel,
            Clasping my bier to show the grief you feel,
              I say, if I should die to-night
            And you should come to me, and there and then
            Just even hint 'bout payin' me that ten,
              I might arise the while,
              But I'd drop dead again.
