With me too-ry-ay, fol-de-diddle-day, di-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh.

She opened the door and she let me in and divil the one did hear us.
With me too-ry-ay, fol-de-diddle-day, di-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh.
She took me horse by the bridle and the bit, and she led him to the stable ( repeat )
Saying "There's plenty of oats for a soldier's horse, to eat it if he's able."
With me too-ry-ay, fol-de-diddle-day, di-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh.
Then she took me by the lily-white hand and she led me to the table ( repeat )
Saying "There's plenty of wine for a soldier boy, to drink it if you're able."
With me too-ry-ay, fol-de-diddle-day, di-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh.
Then I got up and made the bed, and I made it nice and aisy ( repeat )
Then I got up and laid her down, saying "Lassie, are you able?"
With me too-ry-ay, fol-de-diddle-day, di-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh.
And there we lay till the break of day and divil a one did hear us ( repeat )
Then I arose and put on me clothes saying "Lassie, I must leave you."
With me too-ry-ay, fol-de-diddle-day, di-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh.
And when will you return again and when will we get married ( repeat )
When broken shells make Christmas bells we might well get married.
With me too-ry-ay, fol-de-diddle-day, di-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh.
