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’s another 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?
Wouldn’t I burst his pumpkin head,
That fellow that looks like me ?
One day while I was walking
Through a narrow street up town,
I was stopped by a man in a rage,
Who said, “I’ve got you, Mr. Brown.
You know my daughter you have wronged”.
Though his gal I never did see,
But he beat me till I was black and blue,
For that fellow that looks like me.
One day while I sat sparking
A girl as dear as life,
A lady who had just dropped in
Says, “Brown, how is your wife?”
In vain I said I’m a single man
Though married I wish to be.”
She called me a swindle and kicked me out
For the fellow that looks like me.
One day when I had started
To the Central Park to go,
A stranger stepped up to me,
Said, “Pay me this bill you owe.”
In vain I said , “ I know you not”,
But he would not let me free
Till a crowd came/around and the bill I paid
For the fellow that looks like me.
