O Sally my dear, but I wish I could woo you,
O Sally my dear, but I wish I could woo you,
She laughed and replied "And would wooing undo you?"
Sing fol the diddle i do,
Sing whack fal the diddle day.
O Sally my dear, but your cheek I could kiss it,
O Sally my dear, but your cheek I could kiss it,
She laughed and replied "If you did would you miss it?"
Sing fol the diddle i do,
Sing whack fal the diddle day.
O Sally my dear, I would love you and wed you,
O Sally my dear, I would love you and wed you,
She laughed and replied "Then don't say I'd misled you"
Sing fol the diddle i do,
Sing whack fal the diddle day.
If lasses were blackbirds, if lassies were thrushes,
If lasses were blackbirds, if lassies were thrushes,
How soon the young men would go beating those bushes.
Sing fol the diddle i do,
Sing whack fal the diddle day.
If women were hares and raced round the mountain,
If women were hares and raced round the mountain,
How soon the young men would take guns and go hunting.
Sing fol the diddle i do,
Sing whack fal the diddle day.
If women were ducks and swum round the water,
If women were ducks and swum round the water,
The men would turn drakes and would soon follow after.
Sing fol the diddle i do,
Sing whack fal the diddle day.
