Me mother kept a boarding house,
Hullabaloo belay

Followed me mother all over the town,

Hullabaloo, etc.
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
