  1. Jimmy Brow he had a gray mare.
    m-m-m-m-m-m m-m-
    Her legs were long and her ribs they were bare.

    One day poor Jimmy went to the town
    m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-
    The mare she slipped and she fell down.
    m-m-m-m-m-m m-m-m-
    When the doctor saw her she said she would die.
    m-m-m-m-m-m- m-m-
    And then poor Jimmy began to cry.
    m-m-m-m-m-m m-m-m-
    The bridle and saddle were hung on the shelf.
    m-m-m-m-m-m m-m-m-
    Oh' the bridle and saddle were hung on the shelf
