Spring it is cheery,
Winter is dreary,
Green leaves hang, but the brown must fly;
When he’s forsaken,
Wither’d and shaken,
What can an old man do but die?
Love will not clip him,
Maids will not lip him,
Maud and Marian pass him by;
Youth it is sunny,
Age has no honey,—
What can an old man do but die?
June it was jolly,
Oh for its folly!
A dancing leg and a laughing eye;
Youth may be silly,
Wisdom is chilly,—
What can an old man do but die?
Friends, they are scanty,
Beggars are plenty,
If he has followers, I know why;
Gold’s in his clutches,
(Buying him crutches!)
What can an old man do but die?
