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.
