Down in hogan's alley lived miss nancy ann
Always fussin', squabbling with her man
Then i heard miss nancy say
"Why do you treat your gal that way?"
I went down the alley, other night
Nancy and her man had just had a fight
He beat miss nancy 'cross the head
When she rose to her feet, she said
"You low down alligator, just watch me sooner or later
Gonna catch you with your britches down
You 'buse me and mistreat me, you dog me around and beat me
Still i'm gonna hang around
"Take all my money, blacken both of my eyes
Give it to another woman, come home and tell me lies
You low down alligator, just watch me sooner or later
Gonna catch you with your britches down, i mean it
Gonna catch you with your britches down."
"You low down alligator, just watch me sooner or later

Give it to another woman, come home and tell me lies
You low down alligator, just watch me sooner or later
Gonna catch you with your britches down, i mean it
Gonna catch you with your britches down."
