James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George DuPree
Took great care of his mother though he was only three
James James said to his mother:
"Mother," he said, said he
"You must never go down to the end of the town
if you don't go down with me
Don't ever go down to the end of the town
if you don't go down with me"

James James Morrison's mother put on her golden gown
James James Morrison's mother, she drove to the end of the town
James James Morrison's mother
She said to herself, said she
"Well, I can get down to the end of the town
And be back in time for tea
Well, I can get down to the end of the town
And be back in time for tea"

King John put up a notice: "Lost, stolen or strayed
James James Morrison's mother, she seems to have been mislaid
Wandering vaguely all about quite of her own accord
She tried to get down to the end of the town
Forty shillings reward
She tried to get down to the end of the town
Forty shillings reward

James James Morrison Morrison, commonly known as "Jim"
Said to his other relations not to go blaming him
For James James said to his mother
"Mother", he said, said he
"Don't ever go down to the end of the town
If you don't go down with me
You must never go down to the end of the town
If you don't go down with me"

Now James James Morrison's mother, she hasn't been heard of since
King John sent down to give his regrets and so did the queen and the prince
King John, somebody told me
Said to a man he knew
"If people go down to the end of the town
Well what can anyone do?
If people go down to the end of the town
Well what can anyone do?"
