OK, so here's the Ives version, from the Golden Years of the Wayfaring Stranger box set.

LOLLY TOODUM

As I went out one morning to take the pleasant air
Lolly toodum, toodum, lolly toodum day.
As I went out one morning to take the pleasant air
I overheard a mother a-scoldin' her daughter fair
Lolly toodum, toodum, lolly toodum day.

You better go wash them dishes, and hush that flatterin' tongue
For you know you that want to get married, that you are too young.

Oh, pity my condition, just like you would your own
For fourteen long years I've been livin' all alone.

S'posin' I were willin', where would you get your man?
Lordy mercy, Mammy, I'd marry that handsome Sam.

S'posin' he should spite you, like you done him before?
Lordy mercy, Mammy, I could marry forty more!

There's peddlers and there's tinkers, and boys from the plow,
Lordy mercy, Mammy, I'm a-gettin' that feelin' now.

And now my daughter's married, and well for to do
Gather 'round, young fellers, I'm on the market, too.
