Compare this version to Bertha Hubbard Beard's "New Orleans", which you can find on YouTube.

Where do you go my pretty little miss
Where do you go my honey?
Answered me with the brightest smile,
"I go to church on Sunday (2)

Where do you live my pretty little miss
Oh, where do you live my honey?
Answered me with the brightest smile,
"I live on the hill with mummy." (2)

How old are you my pretty little miss
How old are you my honey?
Answered me with the brightest smile
"I'll be 16 next Sunday."(2)

Will you marry me my pretty little miss
Will you marry me my honey?
Answered me with the brightest smile
"I would, if it weren't for mummy."(2)

Saddle up the old gray mare
And ride from night till morning
Ride so slow we'll never get there
To see my true love darling.(2)
(Tune changes)
Coffee grows on white oak trees
The River flows with brandy
Rocks are lined with silver and gold
And the girls are sweet as candy. (2)

Put my knapsack on my back
My rifle on my shoulder
Go and fight in the Mexican war
And there I'll be a soldier. (2)
