Dance All Night with a bottle in my hand,
Bottle in my hand, bottle in my hand;
Dance All Night with a bottle in my hand,
Just before day give the fiddler a dram.
I left my jawbone sittin' on a fence,
I ain't seen nothin' of my jawbone since;
Walked on home and didn't get along,
In come Sally with her big boots on.
('big boots', 'red dress' or 'blue dress')
Who's been here since I been gone?
Pretty little girl with the red dress on;
She took it off and I put it on,
In come Sally with her big boots on. ....[Kuntz]
Dance all night with a bottle in your hand,
Bottle in your hand, bottle in your hand,
Dance all night with a bottle in your hand,
As we to marching along.
We'll hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree,
Sour apple tree, sour apple tree,
Hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree,
As we go marching along.
Old Aunt Peggy, won't you fill 'em up again,
Fill 'em up again, fill 'em up again,
Old Aunt Peggy, won't you fill 'em up again,
As we go marching along. (Eller/Rosenbaum)
