Lyrics:
And who are you me pretty fair maidAnd who are you me honeyShe answered to me quite modestly:I am me mother's darlingWith me tooryay, fol de diddle dayDire fol de diddle dairie ohAnd will you come to me mother's houseWhen the moon is shining clearlyI'll open the door and I'll let you inAnd devil the one would hear usWith me tooryay, fol de diddle dayDire fol de diddle dairie ohSo I went to her house in the middle of the nightWhen the moon was shining clearlyShe opened the door and she let me inAnd devil the one did hear usWith me tooryay, fol de diddle dayDire fol de diddle dairie ohThen she took me by the lily-white bandAnd she led me to the tableSaying: 'There's plenty of wine for a soldier boyTo drink it if you're able'With me tooryay, fol de diddle dayDire fol de diddle dairie ohThen I got up and I made the bedAnd I made it nice and aisyThen I got up and I laid her downSaying 'Lassie, are you able?'With me tooryay, fol de diddle dayDire fol de diddle dairie ohAnd there we lay till the break of dayAnd devil the one did hear usThen I arose and put on my clothesSaying 'Lassie, I must leave you'With me tooryay, fol de diddle dayDire fol de diddle dairie ohAnd when will ye return againAnd when will we get marriedWhen broken shells make christmas bellsWe might well get marriedWith me tooryay, fol de diddle dayDire fol de diddle dairie oh
