 Shaller Brown, you're goin' ter leave me,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown;
 Shaller Brown, you're goin' ter leave me,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown.

 Shaller Brown, don't ne'er deceive me,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown;
 Shaller Brown, don't ne'er deceive me,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown.

 You're goin' away accrost the ocean,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown;
 You're goin' away accrost the ocean,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown.

 You'll ever be my heart's devotion,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown;
 You'll ever be my heart's devotion,

 For your return my heart is burning,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown;
 For your return my heart is burning,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown.

 Shaller Brown, you're goin' ter leave me,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown;
 Shaller Brown, don't ne'er deceive me,
 Shaller, Shaller Brown.
