Goin’ down to Rosie’s, stop at Fanny May's,
Gonna tell Fanny what I heard her boyfriend say.

I’ll tell everything I know.
I'm gonna break up this signifyin',

Jack gave his wife two dollar, go down to the market.
Get out on the street, 'ol George stopped her,

she get back home and tell her husband a lie.

Now don’t you start me talkin’,
I’ll tell her everything I know.
I'm gonna break up this signifyin',
'cause we gotta go.

Now don’t you start me talkin’,

'cause we gotta go
