| With 'pretty pretty' | A |
| Cometh the partridge from her nest | A |
| The flowers threw kisses sweet to her | B |
| For all the flowers that bloomed knew her | B |
| Yet hasteneth she to mine and me | C |
| Ah pretty pretty | C |
| Ah dear little partridge | D |
| - | |
| And when I hear the partridge cry | E |
| So pretty pretty | C |
| Upon the house top breakfast I | E |
| She comes a chirping far and wide | A |
| And swinging from the mountain side | A |
| I see and hear the dainty dear | F |
| Ah pretty pretty | C |
| Ah dear little partridge | D |
| - | |
| Thy nest's inlaid with posies rare | G |
| And pretty pretty | C |
| Bloom violet rose and lily there | G |
| The place is full of balmy dew | A |
| The tears of flowers in love with you | A |
| And one and all impassioned call | H |
| 'O pretty pretty | C |
| O dear little partridge ' | - |

| Thy feathers they are soft and sleek | I |
| So pretty pretty | C |
| Long is thy neck and small thy breast | A |
| The color of thy plumage far | J |
| More bright than rainbow colors are | J |
| Sweeter than dove is she I love | K |
| My pretty pretty | C |
| My dear little partridge | D |
| - | |
| When comes the partridge from the tree | C |
| So pretty pretty | C |
| And sings her little hymn to me | C |
| Why all the world is cheered thereby | E |
| The heart leaps up into the eye | E |
| And echo then gives back again | L |
| Our 'Pretty pretty ' | - |
| Our 'Dear little partridge ' | - |
| - | |
| Admitting the most blest of all | H |
| And pretty pretty | C |
| The birds come with thee at thy call | H |
| In flocks they come and round they play | M |
| And this is what they seem to say | M |
| They say and sing each feathered thing | N |
| 'Ah pretty pretty | C |
| Ah dear little partridge ' | - |
