Yesterday upon the stair I met a man who wasn’t there He wasn’t there again today Oh, how I wish he’d go away
When I came home last night at three The man was waiting there for me But when I looked around the hall I 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 door!
Last night I saw upon the stair A little man who wasn’t there He wasn’t there again today Oh, how I wish he’d go away "Antigonish" (1899) Hughes Mearns
