stuyvesent's

Updated: July 31, 2026

And there wuz a shirt of old Peter Stuyvesent's and a baby dress of De Witt Clinton's. I never mistrusted that he wuz ever a baby till I seen that dress. I'd always thought on him as the first Governor of New York. And speakin' of babys why, I wuz jest a-lookin' at that dress when I met Miss Job Presley, of Loontown. And I sez, almost the first thing, "Where is your baby?"
