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.
