Huckleberry Hunting

A tale of young love between Minnie & Helena. Lyrics below:
An old sea shanty repurposed                           Sung by Allie McNay & Lisa Ferris

Oh, them girls and the girls went a-huckleberry hunting,
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
Oh them girls and the girls went a-huckleberry hunting,
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!

Then a little girl ran off, and a little girl ran after,
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
And the little girl fell down and she saw her little garter.
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!

She said, I’ll be your beau if you’ll let me be your lover,
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
But the little girl said “No, for my sweetheart’s Jilly Miller.”
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!

And she put her on her knee and kissed her good and proper
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
She kissed her back again and she didn’t try to stop her
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!

And then she put her arm all about her waspy waist
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
And she said young lady you are in a great haste
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!

And she put her hand upon her knee
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
And she said young lady you’re a bit too free
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!

And she put her hand yet higher still
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
And she said young lady that is really quite a thrill
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!

Oh, them girls and the girls went a-huckleberry hunting,
To me way aye aye aye aye aye yah!
Oh them girls and the girls went a-huckleberry hunting,
And sing high-low, my Ranzo Ray!
