If we but loved the Farder
He's got a swell place in the sky,
An' He can make us gladder;
If we but loved the Farder
He's got a swell place in the sky,
An' He can make us gladder;
She said some day that I might go
And live with that big swell,
But all them preacher duffers say
They know we'll go ter hell.
And live with that big swell,
But all them preacher duffers say
They know we'll go ter hell.
Well, them air snobs, they did the square
By me an' my poor pal,
They dressed him up in dandy togs
An' made a funeral.
By me an' my poor pal,
They dressed him up in dandy togs
An' made a funeral.
They got a real howler too,
What said that God is love,
An' that he cared as much for Jim
As any other cove.
What said that God is love,

The first un that he ever had,
An' everything was beaut.
He had a bran new suit,
The first un that he ever had,

An' when the preacher told 'bout Jim,
How 'twas he got the swipe,
I saw most all them dandy swells
A-feelin' for a wipe.
