G'day,
From the Penguin Book Of English Folk Songs, Ed Pellow's rendition of the tune of The Old Man From Lee can be found here.

THE OLD MAN FROM LEE

There was an old man came o'er from Lee,
Eh, but I'll not have him.
There was an old man came o'er from Lee,
A-courting me, a-courting me,
With his old grey beard,
With his old grey beard
Just newly shaven.

My mother she told me to get him some pie.
Eh, but I'll not have him.
My mother she told me to get him some pie,
I got him some pie and he put the crust by,
With his old grey beard, etc.

My mother she told me to hand him a stool.
Eh, but I'll not have him.
My mother she told me to hand him a stool.
I hand him a stool, he sat down like a fool,
With his old grey beard, etc.

My mother she told me to give him some wine,
Eh, but I'll not have him.
My mother she told me to give him some wine.
I gave him some wine and he drank like a swine,
With his old grey beard, etc.

My mother she told me to take him to church.
Eh, but I'll not have him.
My mother she told me to take him to church.
I took him to church but left him in the lurch,
With his old grey beard, etc.

My mother she told me to take him to bed.
Eh, but I'll not have him.
My mother she told me to take him to bed.
I look him to bed, and he asked me to wed,
With his old grey beard, etc.

Sung by unnamed singer, Coggeshall, Essex (G.E.McC. n.d.)
