[Verse 1] As I roved out on a May mornin' On a May mornin', right early I met my love upon the way Oh Lord, but she was early [Chorus] And she sang "A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy And cha lan day" [Verse 2] Her boots were black and her stockings white And her buckles shone like silver She had a dark and a rolling eye And her ear-rings tipped her shoulder [Chorus] And she sang "A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy And cha lan day" [Verse 3] "If I went to the house on the top of the hill When the moon was shining clearly She arose to let me in But, her mammy chanced to hear me [Chorus] And she sang "A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy And cha lan day" [Verse 4] She caught her by the hair of the head And down to the room she brought her And with the butt of a hazel twig She was the well-beat daughter [Chorus] And she sang "A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy And cha lan day" [Verse 5] "Will you marry me now my soldier lad Will you marry me now or never? Marry me now my soldier lad For you see I'm done forever" [Verse 6] "I can't marry you my bonny wee lass I can't marry you my honey For I have got a wife at home And how could I disown her?" [Chorus] And she sang "A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy And cha lan day" [Verse 7] A pint at night is my delight And a gallon in the morning The old women are my heart break But the young ones is my darling [Chorus] And she sang "A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy And cha lan day"
