    Antigonish
    I met a man who wasn't there?
    Hughes Mearns

    Yesterday, upon the stair,


    I met a man who wasn't there
    He wasn't there again today
    I wish, 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... (slam!)

    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....
