That Fellow That Looks Like Me.
In sad despair I wander, my heart is filled with woe. When on my grief I ponder, What to do I do not know for cruel fate has on me frowned and the trouble seems to be, There is a nother fellow in this here town, That’s just the image of me.
Chorus
Oh wouldn’t I like to catch him, Whoever he may be? Oh wouldn’t I burst his pumpkin head, That fellow that looks like me.
