(Traditional - Arr. GBS)
2
Well there is an ancient party at the other end of town
3
And he keeps a little grocery store, ah the ancient's name is Brown
4
And he has a lovely daughter, such a treat I never saw
5
Oh, I only hope someday to be the old man's son-in-law.
6
Well, Old Brown sells from off his shelf most anything you please
7
He's got jew's harps for the little boys, lollipops and cheese
8
His daughter minds the store, and it's a treat just to see her serve

15
Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.

CHORUS
21
But Miss Brown she smiles so sweetly when I say a tender word
22
Ah, but Old Brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a Lord,

24
But by jingo next election I will run for Trinity.
25
