[verse 1]
frank jaggerty was
a man who new no trouble, no strife had he
befallen by riches kin to gods, he bought everything that he could see

[chorus]
with a ‘ho’ and a ‘hey’ and an ‘out of my way’
he dashed along the farthest reaches of the plains
aye, the father and the mother nearly fit to drown in gin
another one fails to quell their sorrow
another sleepless night and a pale sunrise set to begin
my lands! my farms! all swept away without a cause
it’s hard to mourn the loss of life when you have no housе to give your wife

[verse 2]
frank jaggerty hе came, a+riding from the billowing west so fine
with leather black boots and a chain of gold and a saddlebag filled with handsome wine

[chorus]
with a ‘ho’ and a ‘hey’ and an ‘out of my way’
he dashed along the farthest reaches of the plains
aye, the father and the mother nearly fit to drown in gin
another one fails to quell their sorrow
another sleepless night and a pale sunrise set to begin
my lands! my farms! all swept away without a cause
it’s hard to mourn the loss of life when you have no house to give your wife
[verse 3]
frank jaggerty he said, ‘i’ve come to take what’s yours and rightfully
a thousand dollars for your lot, refuse and i’ll give your landlord three!’

[chorus]
with a ‘ho’ and a ‘hey’ and an ‘out of my way’
he bought and sold what little there was to me name
aye, the father and the mother nearly fit to drown in gin
another one fails to quell their sorrow
another sleepless night and a pale sunrise set to begin
my lands! my farms! all swept away without a cause
it’s hard to mourn the loss of life when you have no house to give your wife

[verse 4]
frank jaggerty, he laughed, liquor spilling down his chin so red
he staggered out blindly to the street where a runaway trolley took off his head

[chorus]
with a ‘ho’ and a ‘hey’ and an ‘out of my way’
he’s dashed along the sidewalks and the alley streets
aye, the father and the mother nearly fit to drown in gin
another one fails to quell their sorrow
another sleepless night and a pale sunrise set to begin
my lands! my farms! all swept away without a cause
it’s hard to mourn the loss of life when you have no house to give your wife
