THE OREGON EXPRESS
All aboard for Oregon!
Fayelle, Gertrude, Charley, John,
Kern, and Emily—Dolly too;
Frank, the dog, has joined the crew.
Don't you hear the whistle blow?
That 's to start the train, you know.
Kern, the daring engineer,
Brave and quick, scorns every fear.
Ding, dong! clear the track!
There 's a cow! They'll have to back!
Soon they 're at the signal-bar,
And a wicker parlor-car—
Baby Karl's—is coupled on.
Now they 're off for Oregon.
“Tick—ets!” shouts Conductor John.

Home again, by light of day;
All to sup with Kern and Fay.
