Вступление
[Verse 1]
CGC
There is an ancient party at the other end of town.
FG
He keeps a little grocery store, and the ancient's name is Brown.
FG
He has a lovely daughter, such a treat I never saw.
CGC
Oh, I only hope someday to be the old man's son-in-law.
[Verse 2]
CGC
Old Brown sells from off his shelf most anything you please.
FG
He's got juice hops for the little boys, lollipops and cheese.
FG
His daughter minds the store and it's a treat to see her serve.
CGC
I'd like to run away with her but I don't have the nerve.
[Chorus]
FC
And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl.
FG
Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl.
F
I wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl.
GC
And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
FGC
Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
[Verse 3]
CGC
Well poor Old Brown now has trouble with the gout.
FG
He grumbles in his little parlour when he can't get out.
FG
And when I make a purchase, Lord, and she hands me the change...
CGC
That girl she makes me pulverized, I feel so very strange.
[Chorus]
FC
And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl.
FG
Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl.
F
I wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl.
GC
And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
FGC
Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
[Verse 4]
CGC
Miss Brown, she smiles so sweetly when I say a tender word.
FG
Oh, but Old Brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a Lord.
FG
And I don't suppose it's ever one of those things I will be...
CGC
But, by jingo, next election I will run for Trinity!
[Chorus]
FC
And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl.
FG
Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl.
F
I wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl.
GC
And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
FGC
Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
