Burl Ives "Lolly Too Dum" |
Artist: Burl Ives Title: Lolly Too Dum ----------------------- 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-scolding her daughter fair, Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �You better go wash them dishes, and hush that flattering tongue.� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �You better go wash them dishes, and hush that flattering tongue. You know you want to get married and that you are too young.� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �Oh, pity my condition just as you would your own.� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �Oh, pity my condition just as you would your own. For fourteen long years, I've been living all alone.� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �Supposing I was willing, where would you get your man?� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �Supposing I was willing, where would you get your man?� �Why, Lordy, mercy! Mammy, I'd marry Handsome Sam.� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �Supposing he should slight you like you done him before?� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �Supposing he should slight you like you done him before?� �Why, Lordy, mercy! Mama, I'd marry forty more.� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �There's doctors and lawyers and boys from the plow.� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �There's doctors and lawyers and boys from the plow.� �Why, Lordy, mercy! Mammy, the fit comes on me now.� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �Now, my daughter's married and well for to do.� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. �Now, my daughter's married and well for to do.� �Come gather �round, young fellers! I'm on the market, too!� Lolly too dum, too dum, Lolly too dum day. Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
