A woman with an oversized head leans over a smaller man with her index finger raised in the air. Her mouth is open and her

| Notes |
Text: ‘Tis said you loved a Parson, / And he was short of breath; / You cornered him so well one day / You talked him right
to death. / Now, when they hear you’re coming, / It makes them wince and frown; / The seek the nearest depot, / And take the
train from town. / I pray thee stop, and have some pity, / Or we won’t have a preacher in the city.
