The TALES you probably never heard about

WITH REGRETS

[Welland Telegraph February 27, 1903]

It won’t be long, my Welland friends
Ere spring is here-just think-
When there won’t be any music played
By the orchestra in the rink.

The passerby along the streets-
Well known in musical arts-
They stop dead still, and listen to
“A Mansion of Aching Hearts,”

The above is one of the latest
Which the orchestra now blows;
While another they’ve just learned to
play
Is “Down Where the Werzburgur Flows.”

Besides these are many others,
Which the people love to hear,
Though not new, they’re just the caper
For the music-loving ear.

It’s no great snap to blow a horn,
After working hard all day,
And the way the boys attend to biz,
Invites their friends to say:

“Your labors we appreciate”
And say it good and loud-
“We thank you with well wishes, for
Of the orchestra we’re proud.”
