Odetta — Hogans Alley

Down in Hogan's Alley lives a Miss Nancy Ann Fussin and a-fightin with her man Well I thought I heard Miss Nancy say "Why do ya treat your gal that way?" When walkin down the alley the other night Nancy and her man just had a fight Well he beat Miss Nancy across the head When she rose to her feat she said: You low down alligator, watch me sooner or later Gonna catch you with your britches down You throw me round me and beat me, tease me and mistreat me Still I'm gonna hang around Take all my money, black out the both of my eyes Give it all to another woman, come home and tell me lies You low down alligator watch me sooner or later Gonna catch you with your britches down Take all my money, black out the both of my eyes Give it all to another woman, come home and tell me lies You low down alligator watch me sooner or later Gonna catch you with your britches down I mean, catch you with your britches down
