Lyrics:

1.
Hand me down my bonnet
And hand by down my shawl,
And hand me down my calico dress,
I'm going to the calico ball

Oh, hand me down my bonnet
And hand by down my shawl,
And hand me down my calico dress,
I'm going to the calico ball.

Chorus:
Well, as we go marching
And the band begins to play
You can hear the people shouting
The Amherst team is out to win today.

2.
First she gave me candy
And then she gave me cake,
And then she gave me gingerbread,
For kissing her at the gate

Well, first she gave me candy
And then she gave me cake,
And then she gave me gingerbread,
For kissing her at the gate.

[Chorus]

3.
Then she gave me whiskey
And next she gave me gin
And then she gave me creme de mint,
For kissing her on the chin

Well, then she gave me whiskey
And next she gave me gin
And then she gave me creme de mint,
For kissing her on the chin.

[Chorus]
