One morning, one morning, one morning in spring
I heard a fair damsel
so gallantly sing
As she sat under her kallamaking*,
"Please God, I'll be married next
Sunday!"
"Fourteen years is too young to get married.
A girl of your age is apt to
get sorry.
For seven long years I'd have you tarry.
Put off your wedding next
Sunday!"
"Old man, old man, you talk on a cheap scale,
That's seven long years
against my will.
My mind is to marry and I mean to fulfill.
I wish that tomorrow was
Sunday."
"My shawl and my gown lies under the press
My love will be here before I
can dress,
With a bunch of blue ribbons tied round my waist
To make me look neat against
Sunday"
"Saturday night will be all my care
To feeble my locks and curl my
hair,
And two little maidens to wait on me there
To dress me up neat against
Sunday."
"Saturday night to dance all around
With a bunch of blue ribbons and new
fashioned gown,
Invite all the ladies from Barbersville town
To be at my wedding next
Sunday."
*as sung. Singer reportedly looked up printed copy later, and
reported it
as "cow a-milking"
From Folk Songs out of Wisconsin, Peters
Collected from Mrs. Ollie
Jacobs, Pearson, WI, 1941
