Madam I'm a Darling
03:19
|

|
As I roved out near Chester city
In the dark hour late at night
Whom should I spy but a fair young maiden
Washing her clothes in the broad moonlight
Madam I'm a darling, a die row dither-o
Madam I'm a darling, a die row day
Oh first she washed an’ then she squeezed 'em
Then she hung them out to dry
And then she folded up her arms
Saying oh what a fine young man am I.
Oh going to the well for a pail of water
Fetching it home to make some tea
Well she fell under and I fell over
And all the game was above her knee
Madam I will tie your garter
I will tie it above your knee
And if you like, I'll tie it up further
Cause madam, I'm a darling a die row day
Have you ever heard of cups and saucers
Rattling round in an old tin can
Have you ever heard of a fair young maiden
Married to an ugly, grey old man
Madam you have gold and silver
And Madam you have tracks of land
Madam you have ships on the ocean
All you need is a fine, young man

As I went out on a bright morning
to take a pleasant walk
I sat down beside an old stone wall
just to hear two lovers talk
For to hear two lovers talk, my love
To hear what they might say
So I might learn a little more, love
before I go away.
Chorus:
P stands for Paddy, I suppose
J for my love John
W stands for false Willy -O
But Johnny’s the fairest man.
„Johnny’s the fairest man“, she said.
„Johnny’s the fairest man
I don’t care what anybody says for
Johnny is the fairest man.”
Well come on sit beside me, love,
beside me on the green.
It’s a long three quarters of a year or more
since together we have been.
Since together we have been, my dear
Since together we have been
It’s a long three quarters of a year or more
since together we have been.
Oh I’ll not sit beside you, love
now or any other time.
For I hear you love another little lass
and your heart’s no longer mine.
„And your heart’s no longer mine“ she said
„And your heart’s no longer mine
I don’t care what anybody says,
your heart’s no longer mine.”
So I will climb a high, high tree,
and rob a wild bird’s nest.
Back I’ll bring what I find there
to the girl I love the best.
„To the girl I love the best“ he said
„To the girl I love the best
Back I’ll bring what I find there
to the gitl I love the best”

Autumn Gold

My mood is clothed in autumn’s shades
My summer sun begins to fade
Fading away with the waning year
Changing my tempo now autumn is here
Time to leave my friends behind
I leave this town with you on my mind
The dead leaves are burning, the year is decaying
Winter returning, no use in delaying
One week ago we walked by here
I never dreamed life’s death was so near
We laughed and played the summer through
The sun is going and I must go too.
Autumn gold then winter snow,
There’s some goes south but its north I must go
Leaving this town and the friends that I know
It’s late in the year there’ll be ice and snow.
When the sun returns I’ll come back too
I’ll write a song and I’ll sing it for you.

Uncle Rat went out to ride
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Uncle Rat went out to ride,
Kitty alone and I.
Uncle Rat went out to ride
Sword and buckle by his side,
Ma cax macari duck and a dil,
Kitty alone and I.
Lady Mouse, will marry me?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone,
Lady Mouse, will marry me?
Kitty alone and I.
Lady Mouse, will marry me?
Ask my Uncle Rat, says she,
Ma cax macari duck and a dil.
Kitty alone and I
Uncle Rat, will I marry Lady Mouse?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone,
Uncle Rat, will I marry Lady Mouse?
Kitty alone and I.
Uncle Rat, will I marry Lady Mouse?
Yes, kind sir, and half my house
Ma cax macari duck and a dil,
Kitty alone and I.
Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone,
Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone and I.
Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Ask my Uncle Rat, says she
Ma cax macari duck and a dil,
Kitty alone and I.
Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone,
Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone and I.
Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Up at the top of a holly tree
Ma cax macari duck and a dil,
Kitty alone and I.
