Thread Name: Lyr Req: They Always Pick on Me (Murphy/Von Tilzer
Subject: I'm so very lonesome
My grandfather used to sing something like this.

"When I was born my ma and pa,
they looked at me and said 'asha',
The doctor said it's a boy I think,
so pa went out and had a drink.
My sister said I looked like pa,
brother said I took after ma,

ANYHOW, the chorus went,
They always, always pick on me.
They never, never let me be.
I'm so very lonesome, awf'ly sad
its been a long, time since I've been glad,
but I know what I'll do, by and by,
I'll eat some worms, and then I'll die,
and when I'm gone just wait and see,
they'll all be sorry cause they picked on me.

Can anyone help me out, was this just a made up song?

Thanks, Berk
