The wee canary flew awa' Auntie Mary caught it; She caught it by the tail An' flung it in a pail, Cheeky Auntie Mary. My mother said that I must go, Wi ma faither's denner-o; Chappit tatties, beef and steak, Twa reed herrin an' a bawbee bake. I went to the river an' a couldn't get across, I paid ten pound for an auld dun horse. I jumped on his back an' his banes gied a crack, An' I had tae play the fiddle till the boat came back. http://www.footstompin.com/forum?threadid=43759 Vaudeville (USA) -(UK) musichall became popular with a wider variety of entertainment & the minstrel shows began to wane although one of the variety acts would often be a comedy quartet.
