Shal-lo Brown, now what's the mat-ter?
[Shal-lo, shal-lo Brown!]
Oh, shal-lo Brown, what's the mat-ter?
[Shal-lo, shal-lo Brown!]

I'm going to leave you
[Shal-lo Brown]
Oh, I have left the wife and ba-by
[Shal-lo, Shal-lo Brown!]

The baby's in the cradle,
[shal-lo, shal-lo brown]

My love I won't decieve you
