My Daughter Wished to Marry

歌詞

My daugther wished to marry, I told her, "not just yet" She cried for three days and throw'd a couple of fits Rolly toodum, toodum, toodum rolly day, rolly too Now you are single, and never heard of jaw Don't think of marrying, just think of a mother in law Rolly toodum, toodum, toodum rolly day, rolly too Oh, lots of people are married and tied up for life But while you are single, you're happier than a wife Rolly toodum, toodum, toodum rolly day, rolly too And now if you marry, I'll tell you what you'll do In pale and working in poverty, you'll wish you're back home Too Rolly toodum, toodum, toodum rolly day, rolly too Oh hush your wily talking and stop your silly tongue Don't talk of marrying, you know you are too young Rolly toodum, toodum, toodum rolly day, rolly too And now my daughter listen, I'll give you good advice And if you marry a dude, you'll be sorry all your life Rolly toodum, toodum, toodum rolly day, rolly too And now my daughter's married, and what shall I do I believe before the sun sets that I'll marry too Rolly toodum, toodum, toodum rolly day, rolly too
