Farewell Mister Abner Hemingway 1905

Abner Hemingway,
a word with you,
before I say my last adieu,
you buncoed me
to marry thee,
now to South Dakota I must flee,
when at the altar side by side,
you certainly just falsified,
when you told the parson you'd provide
you falsified,
why man you lied.

So, farewell, Mister Abner Hemingway
I'm gwine to quit this domicile today,
just cut out "babe" and "turtledove"
I can't exist on bankrupt love,
so farewell, Mister Abner Hemingway.

So, farewell, Mister Abner Hemingway
Brush by, man
don't you get too negligée
from this time on
I'm not your wife
I've read that book of Simple Life
so farewell, Mister Abner Hemingway.

Abner Hemingway,
the 'stalment man,
backed up this morning
with a van,
Removed the bed,
no words he said,
till a dispossess
the sheriff read,
the butcher and the grocer too,
are hunting high and low for you,
Napolean met his Waterloo,
so have a care,
some words are true.

So, farewell, Mister Abner Hemingway
I'm gwine to quit this domicile today,
just cut out "babe" and "turtledove"
I can't exist on bankrupt love,
so farewell, Mister Abner Hemingway.

So, farewell, Mister Abner Hemingway
Brush by, man
don't you get too negligée
from this time on
I'm not your wife
I've read that book of Simple Life
so farewell, Mister Abner Hemingway.
