To the home of Sherlock Holmes
Lady by the name of Jones
came one day, strange to say,
said her husband disappeared,
victim of a plot she feared,
Had the rent when he went,
"Won't you find him for me,
Mister Holmes,"
She cried out to him in sobbing tones.
You can have most ev'rything I owns,
if you will bring him back.

Oh! Mister Sherlock Holmes
I'll give a thousand bones
if you can find my loving man,
This is his description,
He isn't tall
and he isn't small,
He's 'bout as big as that,
he wears a derby hat,
he answers to the name of Jones.
Oh, won't you please, please,
please hear ny tones
Go out and find him Sherlock Holmes.

Oh! Mister Sherlock Holmes
I'll give a thousand bones
if you can find my loving man,
This is his description,
He isn't tall
and he isn't small,
He's 'bout as big as that,
he wears a derby hat,
he answers to the name of Jones.
Oh, won't you please, please,
please hear ny tones
Go out and find him Sherlock Holmes.

Watson get the needle quick
Got a job and must be slick,
Land this man, if we can,
Took a trip to Scotland Yard,
Found her husband playing cards
Quite content rent had went,
Sherlock said: "We're on the proper trail,
We'll succeed I'm sure if we don't fail."
When he said: "I'll get you out on bail!"
Jones sang: "Don't take me home."

Oh! Mister Sherlock Holmes
I'll give a thousand bones
if you can find my loving man,
This is his description,
He isn't tall
and he isn't small,
He's 'bout as big as that,
he wears a derby hat,
he answers to the name of Jones.
Oh, won't you please, please,
please hear ny tones
Go out and find him Sherlock Holmes.

Oh! Mister Sherlock Holmes
I'll give a thousand bones
if you can find my loving man,
This is his description,
He isn't tall
and he isn't small,
He's 'bout as big as that,
he wears a derby hat,
he answers to the name of Jones.
Oh, won't you please, please,
please hear my tones
Go out and find him Sherlock Holmes.
