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!" [Illustration] "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-bye'!"-- |
