} EXTRA VERSES BY' .JEFF T. BRANEIf

The day my brother Bill was born I never shaHforget;

My mother said, "An Angel brought the darlinglittle pet."

The nurse said, "No, the doctor brought him,really, on the dead."

But when I asked my dad, said he: "I foundhim in the shed."

CHORUS:

Somebody lied! Somebody lied, you see;I never could quite understand,It sounded mighty queer to me;'Cause somebody lied-plain as A. B. C.Somebody strayed from the righteous path,Somebody falsified to me.

5waiting at a depot for I went one night to sit up with my best frierJd,

who was dead;His wife, she left me all alone to watch bcsid~

his bed.That night when all was dark and still, a form

stole through the door,I near dropped dead when someone said, "He's

gone forevermore."

4One day while I stood

my train,A lady stepped right up to me, her eyes werc

full of rain;"Come, hold this bundle, won't you please,"

I said, "Why, certainly.""I've got to buy a ticket, so I'll be right back,"

sai~ she.

CHORUS:

Someboay lied! Somebody lied, you see;That bundle it contained a kidThat yelllm unmercifully.Somebody lied-plain as plain can be;I missed my train, lost out with my wife,Somebody falsified to me.6My dad once said that Shakespeare said:

"There's nothing in a name."And later on I told my dad, I really thought

the same,Until I stopped an Irishman upon the street

one dayAnd said, "just kindly step aside you dog-gone

A. P. A."

CHORUS:

Somebody lied! Somebody lied, you see;I don't intend to tell you whatThat Irishman did to me,Somebody lied-plain as plain can be,Somebody lied-as sure's you're born,Somebody flllsified to me.

CHORUS:

Somebody lied! Somebody lied, you see;My friend, he rose right up in bed,"Give me some gin," said he.Somebody lied-plain as plain can be;My dead friend was dead drunk, that's all;Somebody falsified to me.'1I hired a boat one time and took a stranger

for a row-A mile from shore our boat went down, the

wind did howl and blow,I had a life preserver, but the stranger yelled:

"that's mine!When I get back to shore" says he, "I'll throw

you out a line."

CHORUS:

Somebody lied! Somebody lied to me,I would have drowned but I held my breathAnd floated to shore, you see,Somebody lied-as plain as plain can 00.Somebody lied-as sure's you're born,Somebody falsified to me.
