Mandy put your best clothes on
and come along, Mandy,
Now don't be long!
Little birds are singing,
Wedding bells are ringing,
In the belfry swinging
with their ding, ding, dong!
Mandy can't you hear them chime,
A calling you, Mandy?
They're for you and me,
So open the window,
trim those curls,
and sip that morning dew;
Your sweetheart a waits for you.
Mandy, Mandy,
Can't you hear me calling?

Come along my Mandy
sweet as sugar candy,
Hurry honey no time to lose,
Ev'rybody's waiting
with the rice and old shoes,
So come along my Mandy,
The sun am bright, Hooray!
So it's gwine to be, gwine to be,
bound to be, bound to be,
A mighty happy wedding day.

Come along my Mandy
sweet as sugar candy,
Hurry honey no time to lose,
Ev'rybody's waiting
with the rice and old shoes,
So come along my Mandy,
The sun am bright, Hooray!
So it's gwine to be, gwine to be,
bound to be, bound to be,
A mighty happy wedding day.

Mandy all the coons in town
have come along, Mandy,
They've brought that cake.
Is the parson waiting
while I'm hesitating,
Ain't it aggravating,
will your poor heart break.
Mandy, there's the old folks too.
They're calling you, Mandy,
They've a teardimmed eye.
But happy is the bride
that the sun shines on,
That's a saying old but true,
And the sun shines for me and you.
Mandy, Mandy,
My poor heart is calling?

Come along my Mandy
sweet as sugar candy,
Hurry honey no time to lose,
Ev'rybody's waiting
with the rice and old shoes,
So come along my Mandy,
The sun am bright, Hooray!
So it's gwine to be, gwine to be,
bound to be, bound to be,
A mighty happy wedding day.

Come along my Mandy
sweet as sugar candy,
Hurry honey no time to lose,
Ev'rybody's waiting
with the rice and old shoes,
So come along my Mandy,
The sun am bright, Hooray!
So it's gwine to be, gwine to be,
bound to be, bound to be,
A mighty happy wedding day.
