Lyrics

[00:10.708] Will you come with me my Phillis dear, to yon blue mountain free,
[00:15.474] Where the blossoms smell the sweetest, come rove along with me.
[00:20.146] It's ev'ry sunday morning when I am by your side,
[00:24.761] We'll jump into the Wagon, and all take a ride.
[00:29.707] Wait for the Wagon, Wait for the Wagon,
[00:34.366] Wait for the Wagon, and we'll all take a ride.
[00:48.380] Where the river runs like silver and the birds they sing so sweet
[00:52.727] I have a cabin, Phillis, and something good to eat;
[00:57.483] Come listen to my story, it will relieve my heart,
[01:02.107] So jump into the wagon, and off we will start.
[01:07.054] Wait for the Wagon, Wait for the Wagon,
[01:11.712] Wait for the Wagon, and we'll all take a ride.
[01:25.706] In Uncle Sam's dominion, In eighteen sixty-one,
[01:30.232] The fight between secession and union was begun;
[01:34.904] The south declared they'd have the "rights"
[01:37.427] Which Uncle Sam denied,
[01:39.572] Or in their secesh wagon they'd all take a ride!
[01:44.235] Hurrah for the wagon, The old union wagon,
[01:48.733] We'll stick to our wagon, And all take a ride.
[02:03.163] Come all ye sons of freedom, And join our southern band,
[02:07.873] We are going to fight the Yankees, And drive them from our land.
[02:12.592] Justice is our motto, And providence our guide,
[02:17.161] So jump into the wagon
[02:19.240] And we'll all take a ride.
[02:22.134] So wait for the wagon! The dissolution wagon!
[02:26.614] The south is the wagon, And we'll all take a ride.
