about
'I will not undo you.'
Oh yes? She believes that, she'll believe anything.
Oh yes? She believes that, she'll believe anything.
lyrics
O Sally My Dear
O Sally my dear, shall I come up to see you
O Sally my dear, shall I come up to see you
She laughed and replied, I'm afraid you'll undo me
Sing fal the diddle i-do
sing wack fal the diddle day.
O Sally my dear, why I will not undo you
She laughed and replied: You may come then to me.
If the lasses were black birds and the lasses were thrushes
How soon the young men would go beating the bushes.
Should young women be hares and race round the mountain
Young men would take guns and they'd soon go a-hunting
Should young women be ducks and swim round the water
Young men would turn drakes and would soon follow after.

O Sally my dear, why I will not undo you
She laughed and replied: You may come then to me.
If the lasses were black birds and the lasses were thrushes
How soon the young men would go beating the bushes.
Should young women be hares and race round the mountain
Young men would take guns and they'd soon go a-hunting
Should young women be ducks and swim round the water
Young men would turn drakes and would soon follow after.
