![I’m Always Misunderstood. [Copyrighted.] Words used by permission of Chas. D. Blake & Co., Boston. Price, 40 cents, for words and music. I’m just the most innocent man in the world, I do all I can to be good— I never did anything wrong in my life. But I’m always misunderstood. I remember when I was a bit of a lad, That the people all thought I was shockingly bad, And often for naught I was whaled by my dad, I was always misunderstood. Refbain.—For I’m always misunderstood, I’m always misunderstood— And often for naught I was whaled by my dad, For I’m always misunderstood. A hole in my pocket once gave me away, As completely as anything could— I never play cards for I think it is wrong, But I’m always misunderstood. An ivory, let’s see, they call it a chip, Through the rent in the lining did quietly slip, I was taking it home for the children to flip, But I’m always misunderstood. I went to the insane asylum one day And in front of a grating I stood— But alas, for the ill-luck that follows me round, I’m always misunderstood. Some visiting ladies were walking about, And one of them saw me and raised a great shoufc™= “O, Dorothy I There is one that’s got out.” I'm always misunderstood. Dunbar & Daniels, Prop’rs, Central Drug Store, New Orleans, La., Feb. 2d, 1888: Gentlemen Let us congratulate you on your success, for we have never sold a better preparation, nor one which has given better satisfaction than your Gargling Oil, in both of our drug stores. To dkeam of seeing your mother living denotes joy, to see her dead, misfortune; that you see mountains, steep and rocky, betokens diffi¬ culties in your undertakings, if you gain the top you will be successful. To dream of a dark night, indicates trouble, but if the moon gives you some light, you will come out safely.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30478431_0023.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
