There stood a house upon the hill Hullabaloo belay Hullabaloo belah belay And in this house eight men did dwell Hullabaloo belay One stood up and shook his fist "I'll get stronger than the rest" He first began to cheat and steal He then set fire to their fields They turned their heads and let him be Then he upped and murdered three It made no difference where he stood He left a footprint red with blood He murdered three and wanted more He turned upon the other four But when this murder he did try He found them standing side by side Side by side they fought that day They left his bones to rot away This is the ending of my song One was weak but four were strong
