I am going to Longtown
Where sweet girls are all around
They all treat me mighty well
There is no one here can tell
There are others dont you know
I will court next time I go
I can never, never stay
From those pretty girls away
Wont that be a happy day
When at Longtown I can stay?
We will laugh and we will shine
Well be happy all the time
