(1 Song Lyrics Author/Artist/Singer: Berlin Irving Music Title/Track: My Wifes Gone To The Country (Hurrah! Hurrah!) (1 Theme ID: 20050 Album: N/A ["Words by Irving Berlin and Geo. Whiting, Music by Ted Snyder".] [1st verse:] When Missus Brown told hubby, "I just can't stand the heat Please send me to the country, dear, I know 'twould be a treat" Next day his wife and fam'ly were seated on a train And when the train had started, Brownie shouted this refrain: [1st chorus:] My wife's gone to the country, hurrah, hurrah! She thought it best, I need a rest, that's why she went away She took the children with her, hurrah, hurrah! I don't care what becomes of me, my wife's gone away [2nd verse:] He kept the 'phone a-going, told ev'ryone he knew "It's Mister Brown, come on downtown, I have some news for you" He told a friend reporter just why he felt so gay Next day an advertisement in the papers read this way: [2nd chorus:] My wife's gone to the country, hurrah, hurrah! She thought it best, I need a rest, that's why she went away She took the children with her, hurrah, hurrah! I don't care what becomes of me, my wife's gone away [3rd verse:] He sang his joyful story into a phonograph He made a dozen records and I say it was to laugh For when his friends had vanished and Brown was all alone His neighbors heard the same old tune on Brownie's graphophone [3rd chorus:] My wife's gone to the country, hurrah, hurrah! She thought it best, I need the rest, that's why she went away She took the children with her, hurrah, hurrah! Like Eva Tanguay, I don't care, my wife's gone away [4th verse:] He went into the parlor and tore down from the wall A sign that read "God Bless Our Home" and threw it in the hall Another sign he painted and hung it up instead Next day the servant nearly fainted when these words she read: [4th chorus:] My wife's gone to the country, hurrah, hurrah! She thought it best, I need the rest, that's why she went away She took the children with her, hurrah, hurrah! Now I'm with you if you're with me, my wife's gone away [5th verse:] He called on pretty Molly, a girl he used to know The servant said "She left the house about an hour ago But if you leave your name, sir, or write a little note I'll give it to her when she comes" and this is what he wrote: [5th chorus:] My wife's gone to the country, hurrah, hurrah! She thought it best, I need the rest, that's why she went away She took the children with her, hurrah, hurrah! I love my wife, but oh! you kid, my wife's gone away [6th verse:] He went and bought a parrot, a very clever bird The kind that always would repeat most anything she heard So when his voice grew husky and Brownie couldn't talk While he'd be taking cough-drops, he would have the parrot squawk: [6th chorus:] My wife's gone to the country, hurrah, hurrah! She thought it best, I need the rest, that's why she went away She took the children with her, hurrah, hurrah! I knew my book, she left the cook, my wife's gone away Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Oh, That Beautiful Rag (7 Jul 1910), Oh, What I Know About You (2 July 1909), Oh!
