Now go call the fire department : for my house is burning

You know that must be little Martha Hardin : because it's

On the north side of town

You know that must be little Martha Hardin : I saw them

Turn down on Wilson Street

When you see the chief : boys please clear the street

When you see the chief : boys please clear the street

Because you know he's going down : save little Martha

Returned back to me

Returned back to me

You know little Martha Hardin's house done burnt down :

She done moved on Bathurst Street
