Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- When Mrs. Brown told hubby
“I just can’t stand the heat
Please send me to the country, dear
I know’t would be a treat”
Next day his wife and fam’ly
Were seated on a train
And when the train had started
Brownie shouted this refrain
Chorus
“My wife’s gone to the country
Hurrah! (Hurrah!) Hurrah! (Hurrah!)
She thought it best, I need a rest
That’s why she went away
She took the children with her
Hurrah! (Hurrah!) Hurrah! (Hurrah!)
I don’t care what becomes of me
My wife’s gone away”
- He kept the phone a-going
Told everyone he knew
“It’s Mister Brown, come on downtown
I have some news for you”
He told a friend reporter
Just why he felt so gay
Next day an advertisement
In the papers read this way
(extra verses are in the sheet music)
