Traditional Irish Song

lyrics

Who are you, my pretty little maid (and)
Who are you, my honey?
Who are you, my pretty fair maid (and)
Who are you, me honey?
She answered him modestly
“I am me mammy’s darling.”
With your too-ry-ah
Fol-de-diddle-dah
Dai-rie fol-de-diddle dai-rie-ohh


So he went to her house in the middle of the night
When the moon was shining clearly
He went to her house in the middle of the night
When the moon was shining clearly
She opened the door and she let him in
And divil the one did hear them
With your too-ry-ah
Fol-de-diddle-dah
Dai-rie fol-de-diddle dai-rie-ohh



She took him by the lily-white hand
She took him by the lily-white hand
And she led him to the table
Saying “There’s plenty of wine for a soldier boy
to drink up if you’re able.”
With your too-ry-ah
Fol-de-diddle-dah
Dai-rie fol-de-diddle dai-rie-ohh

She got up and she made the bed
And she made it nice and easy
She got up and she made the bed
And she made it nice and easy
Then she took me by the hand
Saying “Boy, I hope you're able”
With your too-ry-ah
Fol-de-diddle-dah
Dai-rie fol-de-diddle dai-rie-ohh

There they lay till the break of the day
The divil no one did hear them
There they lay till the break of the day
The divil no one did hear them
She arose and put on me clothes
Saying “Darling, you must leave me”
With your too-ry-ah
Fol-de-diddle-dah
Dai-rie fol-de-diddle dai-rie-ohh

He said
Oh, when will I return again
and when will we be married
He said
Oh, when will I return again
and when will we be married
She said
When broken shells make Christmas bells
We may well be marriedWith your too-ry-ah
Fol-de-diddle-dah
Dai-rie fol-de-diddle dai-rie-ohh

With your too-ry-ah
Fol-de-diddle-dah
Dai-rie fol-de-diddle dai-rie-ohh
