She said, "Wait just a moment til' I get my shoes"
My heart gave a leap as I heard the glad news
How I flew to the door, sang
"I hope you'll excuse my simplicity over the mountain"

And as the moon was sunk in the west
A morning star brightly was shining
It was then we pursued our journey in haste
'Til we reached at the altar of Hymen

And in contentment we spent the long day
The anger of marriage was soon blown away
Now we often times chat when we have little to say
Of the trip we took over the mountain

She said, "Wait just a moment 'til I get my shoes"
My heart gave a leap as I heard the glad news
How I flew to the door, sang
"I hope you'll excuse my simplicity over the mountain"
