Take me round again in the Wildwood
Where the bluebells grew
With the merry widow waltz singing
Take me back to New York town

When the birds in Georgia sing of Tennessee
Fifty miles from Boston
When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
That's the talk of New York town

I've got rings on my fingers
I saw a show called Carrie Marry Harry
Down among the sugar cane, listen Lester
When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
The longest way 'round is the sweetest way home
I wonder who's kissing her now

In Brattleboro VT performing
With the People's Choral Union
The longest way 'round is the sweetest way home
With the merry widow waltz

At the fatal wedding the Dalton boys
And the Dalton boys, they ran a simple game
I've got rings on my fingers
See saw, Margery Daw

I've got rings on my fingers
I saw a show called Carrie Marry Harry
Down among the sugar cane, listen Lester
When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
The longest way 'round is the sweetest way home
I wonder who's kissing her now

At the fatal wedding in Brattleboro mount
Performing with the People's Choral Union
Where death got married till nothing except yourself do you part
I've got rings on my fingers

Nobody knows, nobody cares
Listen Lester, the Dalton boys, they ran a simple game
Where my caravan has rested
See saw, Margery Daw

I've got rings on my fingers
I saw a show called Carrie Marry Harry
Down among the sugar cane, listen Lester
When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
The longest way 'round is the sweetest way home
I wonder who's kissing her now

With the Japanese Tragedienne
And the old Nestor company at the Blondeau Tavern
At the New Amsterdam Theatre playing
A Parisian Romance

Down among the sugar cane
The man who owns Broadway up in a balloon
I saw a show called Carrie Marry Harry
I wonder who's kissing her now

I've got rings on my fingers
I saw a show called Carrie Marry Harry
Down among the sugar cane, listen Lester
When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
The longest way 'round is the sweetest way home
I wonder who's kissing her now

In the Wildwood where the bluebells grew
That's the talk of New York town
When the birds in Georgia sing of Tennessee
Take me round again

When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
Singing take me back to New York town
With the scandal of the Honduras lottery
Fifty miles from Boston

I've got rings on my fingers
I saw a show called Carrie Marry Harry
Down among the sugar cane, listen Lester
When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
The longest way 'round is the sweetest way home
I wonder who's kissing her now

Listen, Lester, I've got rings on my fingers
Nobody knows, nobody cares where my caravan has rested
The Dalton boys ran a simple game
In Brattleboro VT performing with the People's Choral Union
See saw, Margery Daw at the fatal wedding

I've got rings on my fingers
I saw a show called Carrie Marry Harry
Down among the sugar cane, listen Lester
When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
The longest way 'round is the sweetest way home
I wonder who's kissing her now

Well, I've got rings on my fingers
I saw a show called Carrie Marry Harry
Down among the sugar cane, listen Lester
When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
The longest way 'round is the sweetest way home
I wonder who's kissing her now

Take me round again in the Wildwood
Where the bluebells grew
With the merry widow waltz singing
Take me back to New York town

When the birds in Georgia sing of Tennessee
Fifty miles from Boston
When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
That's the talk of New York town

Yeah, I've got rings on my fingers
I saw a show called Carrie Marry Harry
Down among the sugar cane, listen Lester
When a fellow's on the level with a girl, that's on the square
The longest way 'round is the sweetest way home
I wonder who's kissing her now
