Chorus: La la la chicka la leo,
La la la chicka la leo,
La la la chicka la leo,
La la la chicka la leo.

I will marry who I please,
La la la chicka la leo,
If he'll only marry me,
La la la chicka la leo.

I will marry little Johnnie Green,
La la la chicka la leo.
He's the prettiest boy I've seen,
La la la chicka la leo.

(Chorus)

He's gone off to the wars away,
La la la chicka la leo.
He'll come back some pretty fair day,
La la la chicka la leo.

He'll come a-sailing across the sea,
La la la chicka la leo,
Then come a-riding home to me,
La la la chicka la leo.

(Chorus)

Yonder he comes, I do believe,
La la la chicka la leo,
And I know he'll marry me,
La la la chicka la leo.

(Chorus)
