Paddy Schmidt - MADAM I'M A DARLING lyrics

As I came down to Chester City In the dark hour late at night Who should I meet but a fair young maiden Washing her clothes by the broad moon light Madam IÂ'm a darling a-di-ro-didero Madam IÂ'm a darling a-di-ro-dee First she washed them then she squeezed them Then she hung them up to dry Then she folded up her arms Saying what a nice young girl am I Going to the well for a pail of water Bringing it home for to make the tea She fell over I fell under All the game was above the knee Madam I will tie your garter IÂ'll tie it above the knee If you like IÂ'll tie it up farther Madam IÂ'm a darling a di-ro-dee Madam you have gold and silver Madam, you have tracks of land Madam you ships on the ocean All you need is a nice young man
