Me mo-ther kept a board-ing house,
Hul-la-ba-loo be-lay
Hul-la-ba-loo be-la be-lay.
And all the board-ers were out to make,
Hul-la-ba-loo be-lay.
There was a young fellow named Shallo Brown,
Followed me mother all over the town,
One day when me father was on the Crown,
Me mother ran off with Shallo Brown,
Me father said to me, "Me boy"
To which I quickly made reply,
Me father slowly pined away,
Me mother came back on the very next day.
