C G C There is an ancient party at the other end of town. F G He keeps a little grocery store, and the ancient's name is Brown. F G He has a lovely daughter, such a treat I never saw. C G C Oh, I only hope someday to be the old man's son-in-law. [Verse 2] C G C Old Brown sells from off his shelf most anything you please. F G He's got juice hops for the little boys, lollipops and cheese. F G His daughter minds the store and it's a treat to see her serve. C G C I'd like to run away with her but I don't have the nerve. [Chorus] F C And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl. F G Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl. F I wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl. G C And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. F G C Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. [Verse 3] C G C Well poor Old Brown now has trouble with the gout. F G He grumbles in his little parlour when he can't get out. F G And when I make a purchase, Lord, and she hands me the change... C G C That girl she makes me pulverized, I feel so very strange. [Chorus] F C And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl. F G Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl. F I wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl. G C And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. F G C Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. [Verse 4] C G C Miss Brown, she smiles so sweetly when I say a tender word. F G Oh, but Old Brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a Lord. F G And I don't suppose it's ever one of those things I will be... C G C But, by jingo, next election I will run for Trinity! [Chorus] F C And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl. F G Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl. F I wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl. G C And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl. F G C Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
