We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

I SHAVING BLUES You wake up in the mawning And your eyes will hardly open You’re stretching and a’yawning As your neck you start a’soapin’. And when your map’s been flooded You growl and groan to see Your face with whiskers studded Like a eucalyptus tree. Then you sigh and sling the lather As you scowl into the glass And you think how you’d much rather Be a pretty beardless lass. Your razor twixt your fingers You propel from chin to cheek Until not a whisker lingers On your smooth and shining beak. But the part I didn’t mention On the chin and cheek and lip When you didn’t pay attention And the blade began to slip. Are those pretty scarlet scratches Scattered o’er your angry face And those whiskers still in patches Where your razor missed the place. So you shout to heck with shaving And your face with goo still smeared You resolve to seek a haven Where a man can grow a beard. Yes, you sound a violent warning That you’ll go where men are men Ah, but wait — tomorrow morning You’ll be back to shave again. — Don McNeill TOP: The Mann of the Golden West.
