All dressed in black - black black
With silver buttons - buttons buttons
All down her back - back back

They touched the sky - sky sky
And they never came back - back back
Til the forth of July - ly ly

May-Ree Mack, dressed in black
Buttons all up and down her back
Hi-yo, hi-yo, hi-yo-o, hi-yo

Give me a nickel, give me a dime
See my honey baby all the time
Hi-yo, hi-yo, hi-yo-o, hi-yo

Got in trouble with my boss
Hi-yo, hi-yo, hi-yo-o, hi-yo
