[D]There is an [Bm]ancient party [Em]at the other [A]end of [D]town,
He [G]keeps a little [D]grocery store and the [Em]ancient's name is [A]Brown;
He has a lovely [Bm]daughter, such a [G]treat I never [A]saw,
Oh, I [D]only hope some [Bm]day to be the [Em]old man's [A]son-in- [D]law.
[D]Old Brown sells from [Bm]off the shelf [Em]most any [A]thing you [D]please,
He's got [G]Jew's harps for the [D]little boys, [Em]lollipops, and [A]cheese;
His daughter minds the [Bm]store, and it's a [G]treat to see her [A]serve,
I'd [D]like to run a [Bm]way with her, but [Em]I don't [A]have the [D]nerve.
And it's [G]Old [A]Brown's [D]daughter is a [Bm]proper sort of [F#m]girl,
[A]Old Brown's [D]daughter is as [G]fair as any [A]pearl;
I wish I was a L [Bm]ord Mayor, [G]Marquis, or an [F#7]Earl,
And [G]blow me [A]if I [Bm]wouldn't marry [Em]Old [A]Brown's [D]girl.
[E]Well Poor Old [C#m]Brown now has [F#m]trouble [B]with the [E]gout,
He [A]grumbles in his [E]little parlour [F#m]when he can't get [B]out;
And when I make a [C#m]purchase and [F#m]she hands me the [B]change,
That [E]girl she makes me [C#m]pulverised, I [F#m]feel so [B]very str [E]ange.
And it's [A]Old [B]Brown's [E]daughter is a [C#m]proper sort of [G#m]girl,
[B]Old Brown's [E]daughter is as [A]fair as any [B]pearl;
I wish I was a L [C#m]ord Mayor, [A]Marquis, or an [G#7]Earl,
And [A]blow me [B]if I [C#m]wouldn't marry [F#m]Old [B]Brown's [E]girl.
Miss [E]Brown she smiles so [C#m]sweetly when I [F#m]say a [B]tender [E]word,
But [A]Old Brown says that [E]she must wed a [F#m]Marquis or a [B]Lord;
Well, I don't suppose it's [C#m]ever one of [F#m]those things I will [B]be,
But, by [E]jingo, next e [C#m]lection I will [F#m]run for [B]Trini [E]ty.
And it's [A]Old [B]Brown's [E]daughter is a [C#m]proper sort of [G#m]girl,
[B]Old Brown's [E]daughter is as [A]fair as any [B]pearl;
I wish I was a L [C#m]ord Mayor, [A]Marquis, or an [G#7]Earl,
And [A]blow me [B]if I [C#m]wouldn't marry [F#m]Old [B]Brown's [E]girl.
