LYRICS:

And who are you, me pretty fair maid, and who are you, me honey?
She answered me quite modestly,
"I am me mother's darling."

With me too-ry-ay
Fol-de-diddle-day
Di-re fol-de-diddle
Dai-rie oh.

And will you come to me mother's house, when the sun is shining clearly
I'll open the door and I'll let you in
And divil 'o one would hear us.
So I went to her house in the middle of the night when the moon was shining clearly
She opened the door and she let me in
And divil the one did hear us.

She took me horse by the bridle and the bit and she led him to the stable
Saying "There's plenty of oats for a soldier's horse,
Leave him eat it if he's able."
Then she took me by the lily-white hand and she led me to the table
Saying "There's plenty of wine for a soldier boy,
Drink it if you're able."

Then she got up and she made the bed and I made it nice and aisy
She got up, she laid me down,
She said "Laddie, are you able?"
And there we lay till the break of day and divil no one did hear us
Then I arose and put on me clothes
Saying "Lassie, I must leave you."

When will I return again and when will we get married
When broken shells make Christmas bells
We might well get married.
