Walking up the green gra.s.s, A dusty dusty day, Fair maids, and pretty maids, As ever you did see.

Suppose a man'd die, And leave his wife a widow, The bells'd ring, and we should sing, And all dance round together.

Waiting for a partner, Waiting for a partner, Open the ring, and send one in.

So now you're married you must obey, You must be true to all you say; You must be kind, you must be good, And help your wife to chop the wood.
