    I thought I ne'er again
    would see.
    My uncles or my aunts.
    Chorus,
    At last my Sunday
    pants gave way.
    And off I flew in sad dismay.
    I have sorrow since the fray,
    To be upon my guard.
    My coat was tore.
    My hat was lost.
    Oh dear! Oh dear! the
    fence I crossed.
    For ever I'll remember.
    Of Mac Gees back yard.
