Lyrics
Went down the road one morning,
Went down to see Aunt Janie,
One pretty girl (boy) was waiting,
Waiting there for me.
I (He) said to her (me) “Well, Baby,
Want me for company?”
She (I) said to me (him) “Well, maybe,
If you will marry me.”

CHORUS
Pretty girl (boy), oh, pretty girl (boy),
Oh, pretty girl (boy), don’t be a fool (what will I gain?)
Pretty girl (boy), oh, pretty girl (boy),
Oh, pretty girl (boy), go back to school (give me your name).

Male verse only
Honey, I cannot marry,
I got another woman,
One who is waiting for me,
To her I’ll be a true one.
Honey, don’t be downhearted,
You are so kind and sweet,
Some day a young and handsome
Boy friend you’re bound to meet.

CHORUS

Went down the road one morning,
Went down to see Aunt Janie,
One pretty girl (boy) was waiting,
Waiting there for me.
She (he) said to me “Well, Baby,
Come in and say ‘how do’”
I said to her (him) “Well, maybe,
But I won’t marry you (if you will marry me).

CHORUS
