AN ECHO FROM THE 17TH by FRANK TOURTELLOT EASTON

First Line: WHO BUILDS DE RAILROADS AND CANALS
Last Line: BUT FURRINERS?

WHO builds de railroads and canals,
But furriners?
Who helps across de street de gals,
But furriners?

Who in de caucus has der say,
Who does de votin' 'lection day,
And who discovered U. S. A.,
But furriners?
