i As I went out one morning to breathe the morning air, Lolly too-dum, too-dum, lolly too-dum day. As I went out one morning to breathe the morning air, I heard a dear old mother saying, "O my daughter fair/5 Lolly too-dum, too-dum, lolly too-dum day.
2 "You better go wash them dishes, and hush your flattering tongue, Lolly too-dum, too-dum, lolly too-dum day.
You better go wash them dishes, and hush your flattering tongue; You know you want to marry, and that you are too young," Lolly too-dum, too-dum, lolly too-dum day.
3 "Oh, pity my condition just as you would your own, For fourteen long years Pve lived all alone."
4 "Supposing I was willing, where would you get your man?" "Why, Lordy mercy, Mammy, Pve picked out handsome Sam."
5 "Supposing he would slight you, just as you done him before?" "Why, Lordy mercy, Mammy, I could marry forty more."
6 "There's peddlers and tinkers and boys from the plow, Oh, Lordy mercy, Mammy, the fit comes on me now."
7 "Oh, now she is married and well for to do,
Six married daughters, now Pm on the market too.",
8 "Why, Lord sakes, Mammy, it's who would marry you? There's no man alive would want a wife as old as you."
9 "There's doctors and lawyers, and men of all degree, And some wants to marry, and some will marry me."
IO "Now I am married, it's well for to be,
Ha, ha, ha, you jolly girls, the fit is off of me!" |
