This is a song my grandmother used to sing. I know the tune, and a few words, but would like to find all the lyrics: The hotel that we stayed at would make a savage howl Oh, they had no bell to ring, so they had to wring a towel The beefsteak was the toughest I've ever eaten in all my life With a hunk of it a man could kill his wife And you had to cut the gravy with a knife... When everything on the table began to move You should have seen the fun The eggs they ran around They made the molasses run Oh, the milk took water and started to sneeze The butter got up and it bumped the cheese... The man who left the town with Coxie's Army
