Clxxxviii
Elderly readers will recognise a popular song of thirty years ago in the following:—
2nd Figure
[XML]
I can’t walk on the bare road, cyart man,
I can’t walk at all;
When I remember,
When I remember,
When I remember them.
Oh Captain Baker, I never can walk again,
For when I remember the cyart man, cyart man,
When I remember them.
These words taken as a whole refer to the carts of the United Fruit Company of which Captain Baker is the manager. In defiance of rules girls may be seen perched on top of the bunches of bananas in the laden carts.
