Great Big Sea Old Brown's Daughter Lyrics:
There is an ancient party at the other end of town
He keeps a little chandler shop, his ancient name is Brown
He has a lovely daughter, such a treat I never saw
Oh I only hope someday to be that old man's son-in-law.

Well, Old Brown he sells from off his shelf most anything you please
He's got jew's harps for the little boys, and lollipops and cheese
His daughter minds the counter, it's a treat to see her serve
I'd like to run away with her but I haven't got the nerve

[Chorus:]

And it's old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl,

Old Brown's daughter is a fair as any pearl
I wish I were a Lord Mayor, a Marquis or and Earl
I'm blowed if I wouldn't marry old Brown's girl.
I'm blowed if I wouldn't marry old Brown's girl.

Well poor old Brown now has trouble with the gout,
He grumbles in his little parlour when he can't get out
She smiles so very sweetly when she hands to me my change
She makes me so galvanised, I feel so very strange

[Chorus]

She smiles so very sweetly when I say a tender word
But old Brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a Lord,
And I don't suppose it's ever one of those swells I will be
But by jingo next election I will put up as MP.

[Chorus]
