Three Little Emigrants
by Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt
A Romance Of Cork Harbour, 1884
The soldier’s coat was English-red,
And Irish-red was Katy’s cheek:
“But he’s a handsome boy,” she said,
“And it’s to-night he means to speak.“Who’s English-born is not to blame
For that! (He would become the green.)
Sure, but it is a burning shame
To think he will stand by the Queen.“He and Sir Garnet, side-by-side,
Fought beautifully, though, out there, –
Faith! he’s splendid scar to hide
With all that elegant black hair!”
If you’re going to the Klondike
If you’re going to the Klondike
I’ll tell you what to do,
Be sure you take a ton of grub,
Or better yet, take two.
For you’ll find that you’ll be hungry,
Morning, noon and night,
And you’ll soon have what the people
Call a Klondike appetite.
