Way down yonder
In the maple swamp
The water's deep
And muddy

And there I spied
A pretty little miss
And there I met
My honey

Take that miss
By her hand
Lead her
Like a pigeon

Make her dance
One more reel
Scatter
Her religion

Turn around she's there
Then she's gone
Turn again
She's there
Now she's gone

Way down yonder
In the maple swamp
The water's deep
And muddy

There I spied
A pretty little miss
There I met
My honey

Turn around she's there
Then she's gone
Turn again
She's there
Now she's gone
Now she's gone
Now she's gone

Now she's gone
