Eugene Field - The Bow-Leg BoyEugene Field - The Bow-Leg Boy
Work rating: Low


Who should come up the road one day But the doctor-man in his two-wheel shay! And he whoaed his horse and he cried "Ahoy! I have brought you folks a bow-leg boy!   Such a cute little boy!     Such a funny little boy!       Such a dear little bow-leg boy!" He took out his box and he opened it wide, And there was the bow-leg boy inside! And when they saw that cunning little mite, They cried in a chorus expressive of delight:   "What a cute little boy!     What a funny little boy!       What a dear little bow-leg boy!" Observing a strict geometrical law, They cut out his panties with a circular saw; Which gave such a stress to his oval stride That the people he met invariably cried:   "What a cute little boy!     What a funny little boy!       What a dear little bow-leg boy!" They gave him a wheel and away he went Speeding along to his heart`s content; And he sits so straight and he pedals so strong That the folks all say as he bowls along:   "What a cute little boy!     What a funny little boy!       What a dear little bow-leg boy!" With his eyes aflame and his cheeks aglow, He laughs "aha" and he laughs "oho"; And the world is filled and thrilled with the joy Of that jolly little human, the bow-leg boy—   The cute little boy!     The funny little boy!       The dear little bow-leg boy! If ever the doctor-man comes my way With his wonderful box in his two-wheel shay, I `ll ask for the treasure I`d fain possess— Now, honest Injun! can`t you guess?   Why, a cute little boy—     A funny little boy—       A dear little bow-leg boy!
