Farmer Brown he was a wise old jay
his chicken farm paid like a charm,
he bought all the chickens he could buy
when the price of eggs was high,
he would send his daughter, Mary Ann,
down to the market each day,
there she would stand,
basket in hand,
selling eggs to all who came her way.

Beautiful eggs,
she had such beautiful eggs,
and ev'ry morning to town
dressed up in brown
she'd bring her little basket,
all loaded down,
with such beautiful eggs,
had such those beautiful eggs,
and tho' the prices were high,
all were anxious to buy,
her beautiful, beautiful eggs.

Beautiful eggs,
she had such beautiful eggs,
and ev'ry morning to town
dressed up in brown
she'd bring her little basket,
all loaded down,
with such beautiful eggs,
had such those beautiful eggs,
and tho' the prices were high,
all were anxious to buy,
her beautiful, beautiful eggs.

Mary Brown was very quick to learn
learned something new each day or two.
She knew that the chicken caught their eye,
not the eggs they came to buy.
Mary went and bought a slitskirt gown,
wore it to market, they say,
dressed up in style,
wearing a smile,
she did a rushing business ev'ry day.

Beautiful eggs,
she had such beautiful eggs,
and ev'ry morning to town
dressed up in brown
she'd bring her little basket,
all loaded down,
with such beautiful eggs,
had such those beautiful eggs,
and tho' the prices were high,
all were anxious to buy,
her beautiful, beautiful eggs.

Beautiful eggs,
she had such beautiful eggs,
and ev'ry morning to town
dressed up in brown
she'd bring her little basket,
all loaded down,
with such beautiful eggs,
had such those beautiful eggs,
and tho' the prices were high,
all were anxious to buy,
her beautiful, beautiful eggs.
