...Gargoyle and Bruce O (in the same sentence,my word!) the text of "Rolly Trudam" comes from Miss Mabel Mooney of Oxford Mississippi this way:

ROLLY TRUDAM

As I went out one morning to take the morning air
Rolly trudam, trudam, trudam, Rolly day
As I went out one morning to take the morning air
I met an old lady talking to her daughter fair
Rolly trudam, trudam, trudam, Rolly day

"Hush your foolish talking and stop your rattling tongue
Rolly trudam, trudan, trudam, Rolly day
You talk about your marrying, you know you are too young
Rolly trudam, trudam, Rolly day

"If I were willing. oh, who would be your man?
Rolly trudam, trudam, trudam, Rolly day
If I were willing, oh, who would be your man?"
"Land sakes, mamma, I'd get my handsome Sam"
Rolly trudam, trudam, Rolly day

"Doctors and lawyers and men behind the plow
Rolly trudam, trudam, trudam, Rolly day
"Doctors and lawyers and men behind the plow
They all want to marry me and marry now
Rolly trudam, trudam, trudam, Rolly day

"Now my daughter's married and pretty well to do
Rolly trudam, trudam, trudam, Rolly day
"Now my daughter's married and pretty well to do
Lord sakes, daughter, I believe, I'll marry too
Rolly trudam, trudam, trudam, Rolly day
