Intro G  E  A  D  G  D7 

G                               Am       D     
Down in hogan's alley lived miss nancy ann 
G                               Am       D     
Always fussin', squabbling with her man 
G                 B7      Em7 
Then i heard miss nancy say 
             A                   D7 
"Why do you treat your gal that way?" 
G                        Am       D   
I went down the alley, other night 
G                        Am       D   
Nancy and her man had just had a fight 
G                 B7      Em7 
He beat miss nancy 'cross the head 
             A                   D 
When she rose to her feet, she said 
G                        E7  
"You low down alligator, just watch me sooner or later 
A7                       D7              G  (D7) 
Gonna catch you with your britches down 
G                                 E7  
You 'buse me and mistreat me, you dog me around and beat me 
A                      D7              
Still i'm gonna hang around 
G                             G7 
"Take all my money, blacken both of my eyes 
        C                                  Cm 
Give it to another woman, come home and tell me lies 
     G                      E7 
You low down alligator, just watch me sooner or later 
      A7                  D7         G       E7 
Gonna catch you with your britches down, i mean it 
       A7                  D7         G  (D) 
Gonna catch you with your britches down."
