American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
I HOPE IT DONT HAPPEN AGAIN 
S I borrowed five dollars the week before last, And I hope it don't happen again, I went out with the gang and I blew it in fast, And I hope it don't happen again; It will take me a year to pay up the debt, You can bet your sweet life that I've not done it yet, But that's what I'll do the first money I get, And I hope it don't happen again. 
I once had a fight with our hired man, And I hope it don't happen again. He knocked me around like a John Sullivan, And I hope it don't happen again; He hit me so hard that I thought I was killed, Sure that time of fighting I had my fill. Only forty-three dollars was my doctor bill, And I hope it don't happen again. 
One morning last Spring I went out to play ball, And I hope it don't happen again, For of the game I knew nothing at all, And I hope it don't happen again; I was out in the field, I run for a fly, Down came the ball and struck me in the eye, Holy Jemima! I thought I would die, And I hope it don't happen again. 
I once had a scrap with my mother-in-law. And I hope it don't happen again, She broke my arm and fractured my jaw, And I hope it don't happen again; She hit me a whack on the back of my head, For seven long weeks I lay stretched on my bed, They had crape on the door for they thought I was dead, And I hope it don't happen again.
