Now go call the fire department : for my house is burning down
You know that must be little Martha Hardin : because it's on the north side of town
I said the people is running : and I wonder who could it be
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
Because you know he's going down : save little Martha Hardin's house for me
She's a hard‑working woman : you know her salary is very small
Then when she pay up her house rent : that don't leave anything for insurance at all
Now I wrote little Martha a letter : five days it returned back to me
You know little Martha Hardin's house done burnt down : she done moved on Bathurst Street
