I marry this Indian to this squaw.
You must be kind, you must be true,
And kiss the bride, and she'll kiss you."

And split up all her oven wood."
"Sober live, and sober proceed,
And so bring up your Indian breed."
"By the Holy Evangels of the Lord,
I marry this Indian to this squaw.
By the point of my jack-knife
I pronounce you man and wife."
"Mosquito he fly high,
Mosquito he fly low (sway body),

He'll never fly no mo' (turn hands).
"Bile the cabbage done,
Bile the cabbage done (whirl round),
I'm not after no foolishness now,
Bile the cabbage done.
"Stop that tickling me,
Stop that tickling me,
I'm not after no foolishness now.
Bile the cabbage done."
"Skip, Angelina, do go home, do go home,

To get your weddin' supper.
"Skip all around the cherry tree, cherry tree,

To get your weddin' supper."
"Go on, Lize,
Go on, Lize,

The funniest thing I ever saw,
Go on, Lizy Jane.
Buffalo kick off bell-cow's horns.
Go on, Lizy Jane.
"Go on, Lize,
Go on, Lize,
Go on, Lizy Jane,
The black cat skipping clime-eo.
Go on, Lizy Jane.
"Go on, Lize,
Go on, Lize,

I'll tell my mother when I go home
The boys won't let the girls alone,
Go on, Lizy Jane."

And I can bounce him all around
From my elbow to my thumb,

"Here we go two by two.
Do you want to get married?
Yes, I do.
Marry by love, and let it be true,
Salute your bride, and pass on through.
The needle works finely.
The thread runs through.
I courted a many pretty girls
Before I court you.
Hug so neat,
Kiss so sweet.
Take all that to make it look neat."
"Sweet pinks and roses,
Strawberries on the vine,
I choose you a partner,
And go along with me.
We're walking on the green grass.
And round and round we go,
And if you want a lady
Pray take yourself with me.
Hand me your lily-white hand,
And go along with me."
"Jennie loves brandy,
I love gin;
I had an old cow, and she gave such milk
It made me think I was rich as silk."
