As I went out one mornin' to greet the pleasant air

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

As I went out one mornin' to greet the pleasant air

I overheard a mother scolding her daughter fair

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

You better go wash them dishes and hush your flatterin' tongue

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

You better go wash them dishes and hush your flatterin' tongue

You know you wanna get married, that you are too young

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

Well pity my condition just like you would your own

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

Pity my condition just like you would your own

Fourteen long year I been living all alone

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

Well supposin' I was willin', where would you get a man?

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

Well supposin' I was willin', where would you get a man?

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

Tinkers and tailors and boys from the plow

Oh lord have mercy Mama, I’m getting that feeling now

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

Doctors and lawyers, and men of high degree

Some of them wants to marry, one to marry me

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La La Too Dum Day

La le Too Dum, Too Dum, La le Too Dum Day
