“Yesterday upon the stairI met a man who wasn’t thereHe wasn’t there again todayOh, how I wish he’d go awayWhen I came home last night at threeThe man was waiting there for meBut when I looked around the hallI couldn’t see him there at all!Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the doorLast night I saw upon the stairA little man who wasn’t thereHe wasn’t there again todayOh, how I wish he’d go awayAntigonish (1899)”
