I hear Mister Henry Tomson,
Is a feeling most mighty blue,
Just because his little Lady Love
Told him dat he never would do,
Now you listen to me Henry,
He heard her wid madness say,
You've done lied to me
and you know you have,
So you just go on your way.

Your presence tire me,
indeed you do,
You'll never win me,
I'll tell you true,
You have deceived me,
I learned today.
You ain't no actor,
You drives a dray.

Your presence tire me,
indeed you do,
You'll never win me,
I'll tell you true,
You have deceived me,
I learned today.
You ain't no actor,
You drives a dray.

Why you said you was an actor
Playing wid Joseph Jefferson,
You claimed you had Richard Mansfield,
Nat Goodwin and Irving on de run,
You told me dat Julia Marlowe,
Paid you eighty five a week,
I cast you off for ever, ever more,
You low down big fat foot sneak.

Your presence tire me,
indeed you do,
You'll never win me,
I'll tell you true,
You have deceived me,
so I've been told,
You ain't no actor,
You shovel coal.

Your presence tire me,
indeed you do,
You'll never win me,
I'll tell you true,
You have deceived me,
so I've been told,
You ain't no actor,
You shovel coal.

Now you are de biggest mop head,
And I'll tell you before you go,
Dat you ain't a half a knuckle on,
A little mosquito's small toe,
You head is filled up wid ignorance,
You always just blow and brag,
You're only a big bunch of nothing you
Ain't even a Spanish flag.

Your presence tire me,
indeed you do,
You'll never win me,
I'll tell you true,
You've had a pipe dream
I must declare,
You're just a rag bag
Full of hot air....

Your presence tire me,
indeed you do,
You'll never win me,
I'll tell you true,
You've had a pipe dream
I must declare,
You're just a rag bag
Full of hot air....
