a-waiting

Updated: May 10, 2025

A-waiting for a partner, A-waiting for a partner, So open the ring and choose one in, Make haste and choose your partner. Now you're married you must obey. You must be true to all you say. You must be kind, you must be good, And keep your wife in kindling wood. The players stand in a circle clasping hands, and circle round, singing the first verse.
