I remember this song fondly from my years at Henderson Camps on Lopez Island, Washington (in the 50's). It was a camp favorite because the verses were slow and dragged out (that was the roMANtic, schmaltzy stuff, which we had no use for), then after a short pause, everyone shots "HEY!" and the very bizarre chorus begins at a fast and lively pace. None of us knew what the chorus words meant, of course, but that just meant we sung it louder and with more gusto. What it sounded like was this:

Sto-sto-stolla pumpa,
Stolla pumpa, stolla pumpa,
Sto-sto-stolla pumpa,
Stolla pumpa pum-pum-pum

I can't make your chorus lyrics fit the tune I remember (same as above). The stodola is too many syllables.

The verses I remember are just as you've written them above, Joe, with the song beginning:

Walking at night along the meadow way
Home from the dance beside my maiden gay
Walking at night along the meadow way
Home from the dance beside my maiden gay . . . Hey!

It was a GREAT tune for kids aged 7 to 12!!
