Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. We’re marching ’round the levee, (repeat twice)
As we have done before.
2. Go in and out the window, (repeat twice)
As we have done before.
3. Go forth and face your partner, (repeat twice)
As we have done before.
4. I kneel before my partner (repeat twice)
As we have done before.
5. And now I’ll take my partner (repeat twice)
As we have done before.
