Classic Poem

" IGO AND AGO "

W E'RE The Twins from Aunt Marinn's,
Igo and Ago.
When Dad comes, the show begins! —
Iram, coram, dago.

Dad he says he named us two
Igo and Ago
For a poem he always knew,
Iram, coram, dago.

Then he was a braw Scotchman —
Igo and Ago
Now he's Scotch-Amer-i-can.
Iram, coram, dago.

" Hey! " he cries, and pats his knee,
" Igo and Ago,
My twin bairnies, ride wi' me —
Iram, coram, dago! "

" Here, " he laughs, " ye've each a leg,
Igo and Ago,
Gleg as Tam O'Shanter's " Meg"!
Iram, coram, dago! "

Then we mount, with shrieks of mirth —
Igo and Ago, —
The two gladdest twins on earth!
Iram, coram, dago.

Wade and Silas-Walker cry, —
" Igo and Ago —
Annie's kissin' 'em " good-by"! " —
Iram, coram, dago.

Aunty waves us fond farewells. —
" Igo and Ago, "
Granny pipes, " tak care yersels! "
Iram, coram, dago.
