about

A fine traditional song maybe from Northwest
England, but well-known in Ireland and elswhere

lyrics

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
