THE CORN ON JOSIE'S TOE by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

First Line: THE BOARD WALK, ATLANTIC CITY
Last Line: TIS A CORN ON JOSIE'S TOE.
Subject(s): ACCIDENTS; ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY; FEET; TOES; WALKING;
The Board Walk, Atlantic City,
The passing of Ollie and Joe,
Hippity Hoppity, Hoppity Hippity,
Down the Walk they go.
Why does Josie hobble,
Why does she wobble so?
Hoppity Hippity, Hippity Hoppity,
Down the Walk they go.

The Board Walk has no feeling,
The ocean does not know,
Hippity Hoppity, Hoppity Hippity,
Down the Walk they go.
Why is Josie weeping,
Why such tragic woe?
If you'd know the reason—
'Tis a corn on Josie's toe.
