Avenders green, didle, didle Lavenders blue, You must love me, diddle, diddle cause I love you. I heard one say, diddle, didle, since I came hither That you & I diddle, diddle, must lie together.

My Hostesse maid diddle, dddle her name was Nell, She was a Lass, diddle, diddle that I loved well. But if she dye Diddle, diddle, by some mishap, Then she shall lye, Diddle, diddle under the Tap.

That she may drink Diddle, diddle, when she's a dry, Because she lov'd Diddle, diddle my Dog & I. Call up your Maids Diddle, diddle set them to work, Some to make Hay, Diddle, diddle some to the Rock.

Some to make Hay, Diddle, diddle, some to the Corn Whilst you and I Diddle, didle, keep the bed warm. Let the birds sing, Diddle, diddle and the lambs play, We shall be safe Diddle, diddle out of harms way.

James at the George, Diddle, diddle Sue at the Swan, He loves his maid Diddle diddle, she loves her man. But if they chance Diddle, diddle for to be found, Catch them i'th Corn Diddle diddle put them i'th pound.

I heard a bird Diddle, diddle sing in my Ear, Maids will be scarce Diddle, diddle, the next New year. For young men are Diddle diddle so wanton grown That they ne'r mind Diddle, didle, which is their own.

Down in a Vale Diddle diddle where flowers do grow, And the Trees bud Diddle diddle all on a row. A brisk young man Diddle diddle met with a Maid, And laid her down, Diddle diddle under the shade.

Where they did play Diddle, diddle & Kiss & Court, Like Lambs in May Diddle diddle making fine sport. There lives a Lass Diddle diddle over the Green, She sells good Ale Diddle diddle think what I mean.

Oft have I been Diddle diddle with her i'th dark And yet I nere Diddle diddle shot at the mark. But now my Dear Diddle diddle have at thy bumm For I do swear Diddle diddle now I am come.

I will be kind Diddle diddle until I dye, Then pretheee love Diddle didle my Dog & I. For thee & I Diddle diddle now are all one, And we will lye Diddle diddle no more alone.
