There was a man, he had two boys
An' these two boys were brothers
Josephus, was th name of one
Bohunkus was the other
VERSE 2
And these two boys were more alike
Than any two boys could be
Josephus had Roman nose
Bohunkus bended knee
VERSE 3
And there two boys a fishing went
They went down to th sloue
Josephus caught a mackerel
Bosephus caught one too
VERSE 4
These two boys they went to school
They went to learn a lesson

VERSE 5
And these two boys they bought a horse
An' this ole horse was blinded
Josephus rode on front of him
Bohunkus on behind 'im

To wear on Easter Sunday

Josephus up to Heaven went
Bohunkus down to, shovel-up-coal
