Huckleberry Hunting
Traditional:

Oh, them boys and the girls went a-huckleberry hunting,
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
Oh them boys and the girls went a-huckleberry hunting,
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!
Then a little girl ran off, and a boy he ran after,
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
And the little girl fell down and he saw her little garter.
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!
He said, I'll be your beau if you'll have me for a feller,
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
But the little girl said "No, for my sweetheart's Johnny Miller."
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!

He has been told that for this effort he is a remarkable man.
