Frank Thompson Searight

Here am I, waiting for the dough,

     Waiting for the dough, waiting for the dough

And when I find I cannot really go

     Lor’ how it does upset me;

Dear old Frank, I send around a note,

     Here’s the very note, this is what I wrote:

I can’t get away to Denver, sad to say,

     My cash won’t let me.
