F.
There is dapper young Joe, that has made
A good jobbing in cattle, his trade,
Is so skilful of mind,
C.
Home's a nest,
F.
That the while any bullock might blare,
He would know her all round, ev'ry hair;
And my Fanny, so kind—and so mild,
That I often would hope she might stay
At my hearth, she is taken away,
Ay, my Fanny, dear child!
C.
Home's a nest,
All forsaken, when children have flown,
Like a nest in bush-top alone.
F.
There is Jim, that the neighbours all round
Made their pet, is now gone, and is bound
To a very good trade.
