Merrily to the ring, boys,
Merrily, O, merrily, O.
Merrily round it sing, boys,

Though he floors all he fights, 'tis said,

Merrily, O, merrily, O.
And take some tidy knocks, O.

And I can likewise break a rib,
So nicely I will drill him,

This way now he comes, O.

We'll to the ring, the nearest way,
And merrily round it sing, boys.
Merrily, O, merrily, O.
