Song Lyrics & Words
The accepted modern lyrics are: How many miles to Babylon?

Can I get there by candle-light? Yes, and back again
If your heels are nimble and light, You may get there by candle-light.[1] A longer Scottish version has the lyrics:
King and Queen of Cantelon, How many miles to Babylon? Eight and eight, and other eight
Will I get there by candle-light?
If your horse be good and your spurs be bright How mony men have ye?
Mae nor ye daur come and see
