Okay CS in the spirit and memory of Malcolm here are Briggsy's words, but I'm pretty certain she either got them off Bert Lloyd or adapted them herself as they don't occur in any trad collections.

They are from 'My Song is My Own, 100 Women's Songs' ed by Kathy Henderson, Frankie Armstrong and Sandra Kerr. p55


THE OLD MAN WHO CAME OVER THE SEA

There was an old man came over the sea
Eh, but I'll not have him
There was an old man came over the sea
Came sniffelin', snuffelin' all around me
With his long grey beard, x2
A-shiverin' and shakin'.

My mother she told me to bid him come in,
Eh, but I'll not have him
My mother she told me to bid him come in,
And he giggled and dribbled all over his chin,
With that ... etc.

My mother, she told me to give him a stool, etc.
Well, I gave him a stool and he sat like a fool, etc.

My mother, she told me to give him some cake, etc.
And the silly old fool wriggled just like a snake, etc.

My mother, she told me to pass him the sugar, etc.
And he shivelled and shovelled it down like a booger (probably meant to be bugger), etc.

My mother, she told me to take him to bed, etc.
And the daft old devil nigh stood on his head, etc.

My mother told me to show him what to do, etc.
But the silly old cod couldn't learn how to screw, etc.

My mother, she told me to bid him farewell, etc.
Well I bid him farewell and I wished him in hell, etc.
