Been living in the city, but I like the country life A dear little country girl I'm going to call my wife The first time that I met her, the night was very dark And you can bet I'm happy with the whole big jolly lark For I tickled Nancy and Nancy tickled me For when we are married how happy we will be For we will sit together as happy as can be For I'll tickle Nancy, and Nancy'll tickle me Now Nancy is a lovely girl; to me she is a charm And I can trust her without any alarm As we were walking to the home, I placed my loving arm Around her waist so carefully until we reached the farm For I tickled Nancy and Nancy tickled me For when we are married how happy we will be For we will sit together as happy as can be For I'll tickle Nancy, and Nancy'll tickle me And now we are married, we invite you all to call To come around to couple with us in the fall In the winter by the fire, set Nancy on my knee For I'll tickle Nancy and Nancy'll tickle me
