Workin’ on the railroad
Sleepin’ on the ground
Eatin’ saltine crackers
Ten cents a pound
Big ball’s in Boston
We’ll all go down
Big ball’s in Boston
We’ll dance around
I’ll go to Boston
I’ll dance around
Board up your windows
The big boy’s in town
Put on your new shoes
Put on your gown
Shake off them sad blues
The big ball’s in town
Everybody’s smilin’
You can’t find a frown
The girls are all happy cause
The big ball’s in town
Big ball’s in Boston
We’ll all go down
Big ball’s in Boston
Big ball’s in town
