Vandy Vandy (Manly Wade Wellman) Vandy, Vandy, I've come to court you Be you rich or be you poor If you'll give me good attention I will love you forever more For I love you and I can't help it, oh yes I do Vandy, Vandy, here's gold and silver Vandy, Vandy, here's a house and land Vandy, Vandy, here's a world of pleasure It'll be yours at your command What do I care for your gold and silver What do I care for your house and land What do I care for your world of pleasure All I want is a handsome man For I love him and I can't help it, oh yes I do I love a man who's in the army And he's been gone full seven long year If he be gone full seven years longer I won't court no other dear Wake up, wake up, the dawn is a breaking Wake up, wake up, it's almost day Open up your doors and your divers windows See your true love march away For I love you and I can't help it, oh yes I do sometimes sung with chorus of WHEELFOR SOF
