[1st verse:]

When Missus Brown told hubby, "I just can't stand the heat

Please send me to the country, dear, I know 'twould 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:

[1st refrain:]

My wife's gone to the country, hurrah, hurrah!

She thought it best, I need a rest, that's why she went away

She took the children with her, hurrah, hurrah!

I don't care what becomes of me, my wife's gone away
