1. I've never been so deep in love as what I am the noo. I haven't slept for weeks and weeks; I don't know what to do. It's Carrie Macintosh, a bonnie lassie I adore. I've never been so looney over any lass before.
CHORUS: I'm going to marry-arry sweet little Carrie-arry On the fifth or twenty-fifth of Janu-anu-anuary. Won't we canoodle-oodle! Right fal-the-doodle-oodle! On the fifth or twenty-fifth of January-O!
2. Last nicht was dark and stormy, ay, but it didna keep me in, For when a fellow falls in love, he doesn't care a pin. I went up to her house where I had never been before. I sang to her and whistled through the keyhole o' the door. CHORUS
3. I had a dream the other nicht; I dreamt the war was past, And ev'ryone was happy, and that peace had come at last, And a' the flags in bonnie Scotland waving in the breeze, And a' the kilty sojers singing in twenty diff'rent keys.
PATTER: I tell ye, it's a funny feeling, love. The first time I met Carrie, I couldn't resist her. I did not know what I was doing I was unconscious. I must have been, because when I came to myself I was down on my knees reciting to her:
Carrie, my lassie, my heart you have stolen. Look at my chest; how my waistcoat is swollen! List to the throbs of my heart as it goes Ricketty-ticketty under my clothes. CHORUS.
- - - You can hear a recording made by Harry Lauder in 1925 at the Internet Archive, but it is somewhat different from the sheet music. The title is given as "I'm Going to Marry 'Arry on the 5th of January." He sings verse 1, chorus, verse 2, then begins the chorus again but stops in the middle; then he speaks some patter but it is somewhat different from the patter given above; then he sings the chorus twice. The third verse and the recited verse are omitted.
