"WESTY HOGANS"

As Sung by the Westy Hogan Quartette - German, Worthington, Lyon, Anderson
Words by Frank Butler (husband of Annie Oakley), music by Lloyd Lewis.

I

The Westy Hogans gave a shoot,
They do it every year.
Down at Atlantic City,
The place it is Young's Pier.
All the Mac's were there,
From McCarty to McCue.
But never mind the Irish, v
The Dutch were welcome too,

CHORUS
Walking on the boardwalk,
Bathing in the sea.
Shooting from the pier
That is the sport for me.

II

The boys they came from everywhere,
Two hundred strong or more, "Hello Jim, God bless you Bill"
Fond greetings at the score, Then come again in nineteen ten
Once more we'll do our best
The Westys know no North or South
They know no East or West

CHORUS
Walking on the boardwalk,
Bathing in the sea.
Shooting from the pier
That is the sport for me.
