If I should die to-night
And you should come in deepest grief and woe-
And say:-"Here's that ten dollars that I owe,"
I might arise in my large white cravat
And say, "What's that?" (Benjamin Franklin King, Jr.)

If I should die to-night And you should come in deepest grief and woe- And say:-"Here's that ten dollars that I owe," I might arise in my large white cravat And say, "What's that?"
