Out of the dark a soft feminine contralto voice begins to sing
"Sally went a-courtin' and she did ride, Uh-Huh
Sally went a-courtin' and she did ride, Uh-Huh
Sally went a-courtin' and she did ride
With a wand and a pistol by her side, uh-huh.
Well she rode right up to Miss Potter's door, uh-huh
She rode right up to Miss Potter's door, uh-huh
She rode right up to Miss Potter's door
Gave three loud raps and a very big roar, uh-huh.
Said, "Miss Potter, are you within ?" uh-huh
Said ahe, "Miss Potter, are you within ?" uh-huh
Said, "Miss Potter, are you within ?"
"Yes, kind lady, I sit and spin," uh-huh.
She took Miss Potter on her knee, uh-huh
Took Miss Potter on her knee, uh-huh
Took Miss Potter on her knee
Said, "Miss Potter, will you marry me ?" uh-huh.
"Without my uncle Padfoot's consent, uh-huh
Without my uncle Padfoot's consent, uh-huh
Without my uncle Padfoot's consent
I wouldn't marry the queen, uh-huh".
Uncle Padfoot laughed and he shook his shaggy head, uh-huh
Uncle Padfoot laughed and he shook his shaggy head, uh-huh
Uncle Padfoot laughed and he shook his shaggy head
To think his niece would be a bride, uh-huh.
Uncle Padfoot went runnin' downtown, uh-huh
Uncle Padfoot went runnin' downtown, uh-huh
Uncle Padfoot went runnin' downtown
To buy his niece a wedding gown, uh-huh.
Where shall the wedding supper be ? uh-huh
Where shall the wedding supper be ? uh-huh
Where shall the wedding supper be ?
Way down yonder in a hollow tree, uh-huh."
"Yes Sally-Anne Perks I would love to marry you." says Miss Jade Lilly Potter.
