^CThere is an ancient ^Gparty at the other end of ^Ctown. He ^Fkeeps a little grocery store, and the ancient's name is ^GBrown. He ^Fhas a lovely daughter, such a treat I never ^Gsaw. Oh, I ^Conly hope someday to be the ^Gold man's son-in-^Claw.

^COld Brown sells from ^Goff his shelf most anything you ^Cplease. He's got ^Fjuice hops for the little boys, lollipops and ^Gcheese. His ^Fdaughter minds the store and it's a treat to see her ^Gserve. I'd ^Clike to run away with her but ^GI don't have the ^Cnerve.

And it's ^FOld Brown's daughter is a proper sort of ^Cgirl. ^FOld Brown's daughter is as fair as any ^Gpearl. I ^Fwish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl. And blow me if I wouldn't marry ^GOld Brown's ^Cgirl. ^FBlow me if I wouldn't marry ^GOld Brown's ^Cgirl.

Well ^Cpoor Old Brown now has ^Gtrouble with the ^Cgout. He ^Fgrumbles in his little parlour when he can't get ^Gout. And ^Fwhen I make a purchase, Lord, and she hands me the ^Gchange... That ^Cgirl she makes me pulverized, I ^Gfeel so very ^Cstrange.

And it's ^FOld Brown's daughter is a proper sort of ^Cgirl. ^FOld Brown's daughter is as fair as any ^Gpearl. I ^Fwish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl. And blow me if I wouldn't marry ^GOld Brown's ^Cgirl. ^FBlow me if I wouldn't marry ^GOld Brown's ^Cgirl.

Miss ^CBrown, she smiles so sweetly when I ^Gsay a tender ^Cword. Oh, but ^FOld Brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a ^GLord. And I ^Fdon't suppose it's ever one of those things I will ^Gbe... But, by ^Cjingo, next election I will ^Grun for ^CTrinity!

And it's ^FOld Brown's daughter is a proper sort of ^Cgirl. ^FOld Brown's daughter is as fair as any ^Gpearl. I ^Fwish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl. And blow me if I wouldn't marry ^GOld Brown's ^Cgirl. ^FBlow me if I wouldn't marry ^GOld Brown's ^Cgirl.
