As all sing the first verse they move to the middle of the circle and then outward. They do this movement twice for the four phrases of the song. On the second stanza the boys swing each girl right and left, going around the circle until they reach their original partners.
1. Oh, come along, my pretty little Miss,
Oh, come along, my honey,
Oh, come along, my pretty little Miss,
I'll marry you next Sunday.
2. Oh, come along, my pretty little Miss,
Oh, come along, my honey,
Oh, come along, my pretty little Miss,
I won't be home 'till Monday.
3. How old are you, my pretty little Miss,
How old are you, my honey?
How old are you, my pretty little Miss,
I'll marry you next Sunday.
