Mister and Mrs. Brown,
Right here in this town,
they were just as loving as could be.
He never thought that she,
she never thought that he,
kept another fellow company.
So he went up town,
to see a high Brown,
He came home and thought
that all was well.
But his wife got hep
and she made her trip,
she came back next morning
and yelled.

I can beat you doing
what you're doing me,
It's fifty fifty mister
from now on you see.
You bin going out calling
most ev'ry day,
But I have done the same
while you were away.
Old boy I tried to treat you right,
You would not stand for that,
Now I've made my call
and I'm standing pat.
I can beat you doing
what you're doing me,
You bet, my honey,
just wait and you'll see.

I can beat you doing
what you're doing me,
It's fifty fifty mister
from now on you see.
You bin going out calling
most ev'ry day,
But I have done the same
while you were away.
Old boy I tried to treat you right,
You would not stand for that,
Now I've made my call
and I'm standing pat.
I can beat you doing
what you're doing me,
You bet, my honey,
just wait and you'll see.

Brown surely was outdone,
It really was no fun,
when he found out
his wife knew of his game.
He nearly had a fit,
then he decide to quit,
He packed his trunk
and sent it to his Jane.
She said my poor boy
as she laughed with joy,
I've packed my trunk
some four five days ago.
But daylight seems dark,
when she made this remark,
and yelled as she opened the door.

I can beat you doing
what you're doing me,
It's fifty fifty mister
from now on you see.
You bin going out calling
most ev'ry day,
But I have done the same
while you were away.
Old boy I tried to treat you right,
You would not stand for that,
Now I've made my call
and I'm standing pat.
I can beat you doing
what you're doing me,
You bet, my honey,
just wait and you'll see.

I can beat you doing
what you're doing me,
It's fifty fifty mister
from now on you see.
You bin going out calling
most ev'ry day,
But I have done the same
while you were away.
Old boy I tried to treat you right,
You would not stand for that,
Now I've made my call
and I'm standing pat.
I can beat you doing
what you're doing me,
You bet, my honey,
just wait and you'll see.
