Lyrics

As I went out one morning to take the pleasant air,

Lolly-too-dum, too-dum, lolly-too-dum day.

As I went out one morning to take the pleasant air,

I overheard a mother a-scoldin' her daughter fair,

Lolly-too-dum, too-dum, lolly-too-dum day.

"You better go wash them dishes and hush that clattering tongue,

Lolly, etc.

I know you want to get married and that you are too young.

Lolly, etc."

"Oh, pity my condition as you would your own,

For seventeen long years I've been sleeping all alone."
