When are we gonna get married, get married, get married?
Oh, when are we gonna get married, my dear old buffalo boy?

I guess we’ll marry Tuesday, next Tuesday, next Tuesday.
I guess we’ll marry next Tuesday--that is, if the weather is good.

Well, what you gonna wear to the wedding in, the wedding in, the wedding in?
What you gonna wear to the wedding in, my dear old buffalo boy?

I guess I’ll wear my britches, my britches, my britches.
I guess I’ll wear my britches--that is, if the weather is good.

Well, how you gonna get to the wedding in, the wedding in, the wedding in?
How you gonna get to the wedding in, my dear old buffalo boy?

I guess I’ll ride my oxcart, my oxcart, my oxcart.
I guess I’ll ride my oxcart--that is, if the weather be good.

I’se a-hoping you’d bring your buggy, your buggy, your buggy.
I’se a-hoping you’d bring your buggy, my dear old buffalo boy.

The ox won’t fit in the buggy, the buggy, the buggy.
Ox won’t fit in the buggy, not even if the weather be good.

Well, who you gonna bring to the wedding in, the wedding in, the wedding in?
Who you gonna bring to the wedding in, my dear old buffalo boy?

I thought I’d bring my children, my children, my children.

I didn’t know you had no children, no children, no children.
Didn’t know you had no children, my dear old buffalo boy.

Reckon I got six children, six children, six children.
I reckon I got six children--seven if the weather be good.

Well, there ain’t gonna be no wedding in, no wedding in, no wedding in.
There ain’t gonna be no wedding in, not even if the weather be good.
