Omitted verse: And when they said to school that I must go, I didn't like the teacher, you must know, And when I played the truant once so dear, The teacher she said, "Muggins, you come here," And she whipped me, oh how I remember, There was no mistake about my pedegree! For I had the map of 'Frisco neatly painted on me, 'Neath the little shirt my mother made for me! Sources: (1) My mother; (2) Everett White (Augusta Heritage)(White sings, "map of Ireland")
