  [Air: There was a maid in my countree.] There was a man in ManitobÁ, The only man that ever was thar; His name was Nicholas Jones McGee, And he loved a maid in Mirimichi. Chorus.Sing ha! ha! ha! for ManitobÁ! Sing he! he! he! for Mirimichi! Sing hi! hi! hi! for Geographi! And that's the lesson for you and me. There was a man in New Mexico, He lost his grandmother out in the snow; But his heart was light, and his ways were free, So he bought him another in Santa FÉ. Chorus.Sing ho! ho! ho! for New Mexico! Sing he! he! he! for Santa FÉ! Sing hi! hi! hi! for Geographi! And that's the lesson for you and me. There was a man in Austra-li-a, He sat and wept on the new-mown hay; He jumped on the tail of a kangaroo. And rode till he came to Kalamazoo. Chorus.Sing hey! hey! hey! for Austra-li-a! Sing hoo! hoo! hoo! for Kalamazoo! Sing hi! hi! hi! for Geographi! And that's the lesson for me and you. There was a man in Jiggerajum, He went to sea in a kettle-drum; He sailed away to the Salisbury Shore, And I never set eyes on that man any more. Chorus.Sing hum! hum! hum! for Jiggerajum! Sing haw! haw! haw! for the Salisbury Shore! Sing hi! hi! hi! for Geographi! And that's the lesson the whole world o'er. |
