A Pullman "Bo" from the B. and O.
dropped down on bended knee,
and kneeling there he did declare
his love to Mandy Lee
for Mandy had a rich old dad
who just last week had died,
and she was wise,
said: "Man arise!"
and then to him replied:

Hollyhock Hollyhock
cut out all that jolly talk,
better change your tack
and a back, back! back!!
You're surely driftin'
on a rock.
Tho' you say you love me honey
All you want is ma good money
but I'll gib you a hunch
you can't hand me
no bunch of Hollyhock

Hollyhock Hollyhock
cut out all that jolly talk,
better change your tack
and a back, back! back!!
You're surely driftin'
on a rock.
Tho' you say you love me honey
All you want is ma good money
but I'll gib you a hunch
you can't hand me
no bunch of Hollyhock

Dis coon den said: "Mandy, on de dead,
you surely 'cuse me wrong.
Don't think that I would ever try
with youah coin to get "strong"
Now you've got wealth
and I've got health
what need we care for more?"
He felt a draft,
he heard a laugh
and these words through the door.

Hollyhock Hollyhock
cut out all that jolly talk,
better change your tack
and a back, back! back!!
You're surely driftin'
on a rock.
Tho' you say you love me honey
All you want is ma good money
but I'll gib you a hunch
you can't hand me
no bunch of Hollyhock

Hollyhock Hollyhock
cut out all that jolly talk,
better change your tack
and a back, back! back!!
You're surely driftin'
on a rock.
Tho' you say you love me honey
All you want is ma good money
but I'll gib you a hunch
you can't hand me
no bunch of Hollyhock
