Will you come with me my Phyllis, dear, to yon blue mountain free
Where the blossoms smell the sweetest, come rove along with me
It's every Sunday morning when I am by your side
We'll jump into the wagon, and all take a ride

Wait for the wagon, wait for the wagon
Wait for the wagon and we'll all take a ride

Where the river runs like silver and the birds they sing so sweet
I have a cabin, Phyllis, and something good to eat
Come listen to my story, it will relieve your heart
So jump into the wagon and off we will start

So, wait for the wagon, wait for the wagon
Wait for the wagon and we'll all take a ride

Do you believe my Phyllis, dear, old Mike with all his wealth
Can make you half so happy as I with youth and health
We'll have a little farm, a horse, a pig and cow
And you will mind the dairy while I will guide the plow

So, wait for the wagon, wait for the wagon
Wait for the wagon and we'll all take a ride

Your lips are red as poppies, your hair so slick and neat
All braided up with dahlias and hollyhocks so sweet
It's every Sunday morning when I am by your side
We'll jump into the wagon and all take a ride

So, wait for the wagon, wait for the wagon
Wait for the wagon and we'll all take a ride

Together on life's journey, we'll travel till we stop
And if we have no trouble, we'll reach the happy top
Then come with me sweet Phyllis, my dear, my lovely bride
We'll jump into the wagon and all take a ride

So, wait for the wagon, wait for the wagon
Wait for the wagon and we'll all take a ride
