LYRICS

Will you come with me my Phillis, dear, to yon 
blue mountain free,
Where the blossoms smell the sweetest, 
come rove along with me.
It's ev池y Sunday morning when I am by your side,
We値l jump into the Wagon, and all take a ride.

Chorus:

Wait for the Wagon,
Wait for the Wagon,
Wait for the Wagon and we値l all take a ride.

Wait for the Wagon,
Wait for the Wagon,
Wait for the Wagon, and we値l all take a ride. 
 
Where the river runs like silver, and the 
birds they sing so sweet,
I have a cabin, Phillis, and something good to eat.
Come listen to my story, it will relieve my heart,
So jump into the Wagon, and off we will start.

Chorus: 
 
Do you believe, my Phillis, dear, old Mike, 
with all his wealth,
Can make you half so happy, as I with youth and health?
We値l have a little farm, a horse, a pig and cow;
And you will mind the dairy, while I will guide the plough.

Chorus: 
 
Your lips are red as poppies, your hair so slick and neat,
All braided up with dahlias, and hollyhocks so sweet.
It's ev池y sunday morning, when I am by your side,
We値l jump into the Wagon, and all take a ride.

Chorus: 
 
Together, on life痴 journey, we値l travel till we stop,
And if we have no trouble, we値l reach the happy top.
Then come with me sweet Phillis, my dear, my lovely bride,
We値l jump into the Wagon, and all take a ride.

Chorus:
