Down in Hogan's Alley lived Miss Nancy Ann,
Always fussin', squabbling with her man;
Then I heard her say,
"Why do you treat your woman this way?"

"You low down alligator, just watch me sooner or later,
Catch you with your britches down.
You 'buse me and mistreat me, you throw me around and beat me,
Still I'm gonna hang around.

"Take all my money, blacken both of my eyes,
Go out with another woman, come home and tell all those lies;
Low down alligator, watch me sooner or later,
Catch you with your britches down.

I was in the alley just the other night,
Nancy and her man had just had a fight;
He beat her 'cross the head,
She rose to her feet and she said:

"You low down alligator, watch me sooner or later,
Catch you with your britches down.
You 'buse me and mistreat me, you throw me around and beat me,
Still I'm gonna hang around.

"Take all my money, blacken both of my eyes,
Go out with another woman, come home and tell all those lies;
Low down alligator, watch me sooner or later,
Catch you with your britches down, I mean.
Catch you with your britches down, I mean.
Catch you Danny, when your britches are down.
