In 1868, "Rig-A-Jig" was published as a song for Union College.

Lyr. RIG-A-JIG

1.
As I was walking down the street,
Heighho, heighho, heighho,
A pretty girl I chanced to meet,
Heighho, heighho, heighho.

Rig-a-jig-jig, and away we go, away we go, away we go,
Rig-a-jig-jig, and away we go, heighho, heighho, heighho,
heighho, heighho, heighho, heighho, heighho, heighho,
Rig-a-jig-jig, and away we go,
Heighho, heighho, heighho.

2.
Said I to her, "What is your trade,?"
Heighho, heighho, heighho,
Said she to me, "I'm a weaver's maid,"
heighho, heighho, heighho.

Rig-a-jig-jig, and away we go, away we go, etc.

p. 125, with musical score 2/4, H. R. Waite, Ed., 1868, "Carmina Collegensia: A Complete Collection of the Songs of the American Colleges, with Piano-Forte Accompaniment...," Oliver Ditson, Boston-NY.

Resemblance to the old sailor's song is obvious.

A third verse is added in Carmina Princetonia:

3.
The prettiest girl I ever saw,
Heighho, heighho, heighho, heighho,
Was sucking cider through a straw,
heighho, heighho, heighho.

Rig-a-jig-jig, etc.
