Hullaballo Belay - Burl Ives

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.
