Edgar Guest - Jes` Wonderin`!Edgar Guest - Jes` Wonderin`!
Work rating: Low


I WONDER if they`re bitin` way off yonder in the bay! I wonder if they`re fightin` very hard t` git away! I wonder if they`re hungry, an` would grab a silver spoon Th` way that I remember they used t` do in June! I wonder if Ole Daddy`s caught his big one yet this year; An` I guess the boss is wonderin` why I`m sittin` idle here. I wonder if the lily pads are just as thick t`day As what they were in by-gone times when I was on the bay! I wonder if my favorite spot right now is occupied By some one else, an` if it`s come t` be a stranger`s pride; An` if he knows its secrets, too, an` holds `em just as dear, An` if the boss is wonderin` why I`m sittin` wonderin` here. I wonder if the gulls fly `round the way they used t` do, T` grab the minnows now an` then that in the bay I threw! I wonder if I still could cast as true as what I did When I could land it every time where some big one was hid! An` O, I wonder if the day will ever come again When I shall hear a singing reel, the way I heard it then.
