Lyrics
Old Doc Jones was a fine old man,
A fine old man, a fine old man,
Old Doc Jones was a fine old man,
Sailed ten thousand seas.
Lady and gentleman sail away,
Sail away, sail away,
Lady and gentleman sail away,
Choose just whom you please.

Verse 1 – The 2 students in the center each choose one student to join them inside the circle while the other students circle right.
Verse 2 – The 4 students in the center join hands and circle left while the other students continue to circle right.
The song begins again with the first 2 students joining the larger circle and the other 2 students choose new students to join them in the middle.
