Tom: G
G
"Oh, how can I get to your chamber, love?
C
Or how can I get to your bed?
G
When your daddy goes to bed at night
C
With a keen eye on his head?"
[Chorus]
G
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-dido
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-day
[Verse 3]
"Oh go and get the ladder, love
C
With thirty steps and three
G
And put it to the chimney top
C
And come down in a creel to me"
[Chorus]
G
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-dido
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-day
[Verse 4]
"I went and got a ladder, love
C
With thirty steps and three
G
And a creel on the top of that
C
And come down in the lum to thee"
[Chorus]
G
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-dido
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-day
[Verse 5]
No peace nor ease could the old wife get
C
With dreams running through her head
G
"I'll lay on me life," said the gay old wife
C
"There's a boy in me daughter's bed"
[Chorus]
G
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-dido
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-day
[Verse 6]
Then up the stairs the old man crept
C
And into the room did steal
G
Silence reigned where the daughter slept
C
And he never twigged the creel
[Chorus]
G
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-dido
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-day
[Verse 7]
"My curse attend you, father
C
What brought you up so soon?
G
To put me through my evening prayers
C
And I just lying down?"
[Chorus]
G
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-dido
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-day
[Verse 8]
He went back to his gay old wife
C
He went back to she
G
"She has the prayer book in her hand
C
And she's praying for you and me"
[Chorus]
G
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-dido
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-day
[Verse 9]
No peace nor ease could that old wife get
C
'Til she would rise and see
G
She came on a stumbling-block
C
And into the creel went she
[Chorus]
G
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-dido
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-day
[Verse 10]
"Oh, high I rocked her, oh, I rocked her
C
Didn't I rock her well?
G
For if any old wife begrudge me her daughter
C
I'll rock her into hell"
[Chorus]
G
With my tiddy-right-fol-da-liddle-dido
