and ordered fried spuds and beef.
A railroad man in Bingham’s Town,

I had laid foundation for this moment.
But who I wonder, might be listening?
The deftly fashioned phrases I had planned,

In years gone by, folks didn’t like to say
God’s name to show  surprise or great dismay,
and so you would hear “Goodness,“ “Gol” and “Gee,“

sugar and grass, my
