| Mister Brown, Mister Brown had a violin
|
| Went around, all around with his violin
|
| Lawdy, how he play’d it, sway’d it, made it moan so beautiful
|
| Anna Lize, Anna Lize heard his violin
|
| Roll’d her eyes, roll’d her eyes at his violin
|
| Lawdy, how he lov’d her, turtledoved 'er
|
| When Anna would cry
|
| Fiddle up, fiddle up on your violin
|
| Lay right on it, rest your chin upon it Doggone you better begin
|
| And play an overture upon your violin
|
| Hurry up, hurry up with your violin
|
| Make it sooner, don’t you stop to tune 'er
|
| Fid, fid, fid, fiddle the middle of your ragtime violin
|
| Mister Brown, Mister Brown at a fancy ball
|
| Sat around, sat around, sat around the hall
|
| Wouldn’t take a chance to dance because the band was terrible
|
| Anna Lize, Anna Lize hit upon a plan
|
| Roll’d her eyes, roll’d her eyes at the leaderman
|
| Took his fiddle down to Mister Brown to Just kiss him and cry |
