on the dummy line, on the dummy line,
rain or shine, I'll pay my fine.
Rain or shine, I'll pay my fine.
Ridin', ridin', ridin' on the dummy line.

little boy coming home from school,
saw half a dollar at the foot of a mule.
Stooped down to pick it up as quiet as a mouse.
next day a funeral at the little boy's house.
CHORUS

there was on old woman by the name of O'Neil,
had a face like a lemon peal.
Had a wart at the end of her chin,
called it a dimple but a dimple turns in.
CHORUS
Bought a pair of combination underwear
to keep out the damp and the drizzly air.
Wore it 6 months without a hesitation,
couldn't get it off because I lost the combination.
CHORUS
