Oh! Where Is My Wife Tonight?

You've heard of that foxy old Brownie, Who sent his whole fam'ly away? Well you can just bet that I envied old Brown, When I heard him shouting hooray! I borrowed some money from Brownie, Induced by old lady to pack, It's now been a month and I can't raise the price To pay for her fare coming back.
 * Verse 1

Oh, where is my wife tonight? Oh, why did she leave my sight? I'm sorry to say, I shouted hooray! Oh why did I ever let her go away? She never would leave the town If it hadn't have been for Brown, Bring back, bring back, Bring back my wifey to me.
 * Chorus

I've tried ev'ry way to raise money, But none of my friends are in town Excepting the one man that started this thing. So I called around to see Brown. He answered, "I'm sorry, old fellow, I'll have to refuse you this time, I have just enough money left in the bank So send for that fam'ly of mine."
 * Verse 2

Oh, where is my wife tonight? Oh, why did she leave my sight? I'm sorry to say, I shouted hooray! Oh why did I ever let her go away? She never would leave the town If it hadn't have been for Brown, Bring back, bring back, Bring back my wifey to me.
 * Chorus
