Burl Ives - Hullabaloo Belay



Me mother kept a boarding house,

Hullabaloo belay

Hullabaloo bela belay.

And all the boarders were out to make,

Hullabaloo belay.

	

There was a young fellow named Shallo Brown,

Hullabaloo, etc.

Followed me mother all over the town,

Hullabaloo, etc.



One day when me father was on the Crown,*

Me mother ran off with Shallo Brown,



Me father said to me, "Me boy"

To which I quickly made reply,



Me father slowly pined away,

Me mother came back on the very next day.
