Subject: RE: Origins: How old are you my pretty little miss?
Here's the starting verses of Dad's version:
Where are you goin my pretty little miss, Where are you goin my daisy? O, if I don't get me a young man soon I think I'm a-goin crazy.
Cho:Hi rinktum-a-dinktum-a-diddle diddle dum, Hi rinktum-a-dinktum-a-doody; Hi rinktum-a-dinktum-a-diddle-diddle dum, Hi rinktum-a-dinktum-a-doody.
How old are you my pretty little miss, How old are you my honey? Well, if I don't die of a broken heart I'll be sixteen next Sunday!
