Madam and the wrong visitor

A man knocked three times.

I never seen him before.

He said, Are you Madam?

I said, What's the score?

He said, I reckon

You don't know my name,

But I've come to call

On you just the same.

I stepped back

Like he had a charm.

He said, I really

Don't mean no harm.

I'm just Old Death

And I thought I might

Pay you a visit

Before night.

He said, You're Johnson --

Madam Alberta K.?

I said, Yes -- but

Alberta

Ain't goin' with you today!

No sooner had I told him

Than I awoke.

The doctor said, Madam,

Your fever's broke --

Nurse, put her on a diet,

And buy her some chicken.

I said, Better buy

two

Cause I'm still here kickin'!
