Say good people don't you know,
I's gwine 'o marry? coase its so!
I's gwine 'o marry Miss Malindy Ann:
Ha! ha! ha-a-a-a! I's a lucky man.

Week ago las' Thursday night,
When the stars were shinin' bright;
She and I walked han' in han',
Ha! ha! ha-a-a-a! I's a lucky man.

Had my arm aroun' her waist,
An' she looked up in my face:
Talkin' 'bout our future plan:
Ha! ha! ha-a-a-a! I's a happy man.

That gal's sho'ly sweet on me;
Jes' as sweet as sweet can be;
She is my Malindy Ann:
Ha! ha! ha-a-a-a! I's a lucky man.

Other boys been callin' round,
Tryin' to make her turn me down;
But she tells them: “Git away!”
Ha! ha! ha-a-a-a! I's got the day.

So good people kaint you see,
Reason why I's full of glee?
I's gwine 'o marry Malindy Ann:
Ha! ha! ha-a-a-a! I's a lucky man.
