1 SELLING OFF! 1 I I ELLING OFF ! Selling off, is all the cry, The question is how to begin it, Some bait the hook with a golden fly, To catch their fish, before they skin it. Selling off 1 Selling off! ! But our intentions far more kind— Though baits we have in plenty— We prefer asking more liberal minds, To call and please their fancy. Selling off! Selling off! ! There is gear that's fit for the millionaire, For carriage, or station, or riding; There's whips, would be worth their weight in gold, . Should they give some mean skunk a hiding. Selling off ! Selling off! 1 Saddles for ladies, all sorts and sizes, Fitted to grace the fairest damsel; To see a giver thank'd with fond bright eyes, "We'd gladly give ourselves the handsel. Selling off! Selling off! ! Whips for twirling round ladies' thumbs, And hunting crops for gents just out; Light fancy ticklers for children's gums, Brave one's for wives with drunken louts. Selling off 1 Selling off! J Round up, round up, you stockmen bold, Ther's gear of the right sort to suit you ; We've thongs that'll crack in a firm hand's hold, So loud, that it would scare old Clootie. Round up ! Round up ! ! A spur in the head, and a pair on your heels, The good steed bounds, and brave hearts feel, As if leaving the earth behind them. 6 Don't fall off.
