Lyrics
And as I rose up one May morning, one May morning so early
I overtook a pretty fair maid, just as the sun was goring
With me rue-rum ray, fa-the-diddle-ay, wa-far-air diddle-eye-do
Her stockings white and her boots were
Bright and her bucklings shone like silver
She had a dark and a rolling eye and a hair hung on her shoulder
With me rue-rum ray, fa-the-diddle-ay, wa-far-air diddle-eye-do
"Where are you going my pretty fair maid?
Where are you going my honey?" She answered me
Right cheerfully, "I've a dear and for me love
Me with me rue-rum ray, fa-the-diddle-ay, wa-far-air
Diddle-eye-do." "How old are you my pretty fair maid?
How old are you my honey?" She answered me
Right cheerfully, "I'm a seventeen come Sunday
With me rue-rum ray, fa-the-diddle-ay, wa-far-air diddle-
Eye-do." "Will you take a man, my pretty fair maid?
Will you take a man, my honey?" She answered me
Right cheerfully, "I'll touch not for me love
Me with me rue-rum ray, fa-the-diddle-ay, wa-far-
Air diddle-eye-do." "Will you come down to my ma'am"
, He said, "When the moon shines bright and clearly?
You'll come down, I'll let you in
And me love, he shall not in
Me with me rue-rum ray, fa-the-diddle-ay, wa-far-air
Diddle-eye-do." Oh, it's now I'm with my soldier lad
These ways they are so winning
It's round about his mighty lights
And the fights are on in the morning
With me rue-rum ray, fa-the-diddle-ay, wa-far-air diddle-eye-do
And la, la-ah, la-ah, la-ah, la-ah
La, la-ah, la-ah, la-ah, la-ah, la-ay
Oh, me, oh, me, whoa, me, diddle-eye-do
It's now I'm with my soldier lad
These ways they are so winning
It's round about his mighty lights
And the fights are on in the morning
And the fights are on in the morning
With me rue-far-air-diddle-eye-do
Fa-la-la, fa-la-la, fa-la-la
It's now I'm with my soldier lad
These ways they are so winning
It's round about his mighty lights
And the fights are on in the morning
And the fights are on in the morning
With me rue-far-air-do, rue-far-air-
Do, rue-far-air-do, rue-far-air-do-dee!
With me rue-far-air-do, diddle-eye-do!
