Some words may not be exact (or I've guessed them) because the song is usually sang in a very strong, South Western English accent, but here goes. When I were a lad, I were so glad To go out in the daytime With my fork, a bottle and a cork to go out in the haytime Were tossing hay upon the mound Met young Lucy Bailey I said "My dear, You often here." She said, "Yes Sir, twice daily. We had such fun in the Summer sun Lucy were so thrilling Sweet and pure but I wern't sure That young maid were willing till one day upon the mound, we were working gaily She up's and slips, summet (means something)rips And I went there twice daily She said dear, I do feel queer Think I ought to tell 'ee' (tell you) It ain't new bread, she sadly said, that's swelling up my belly Ought to go to Doctor Joe, off she went so gaily Gave her a dollop of Gurpic Jollop (Last 2 words just a guess, but it's never stopped me singing it) He said, "Take this twice daily." Now Lucy's Dad were very mad Chased I (me) round the haymound Said my son, you've had your fun The time has come to pay now My girl you'll wed, the old mand said As he waved his shotgun gaily If you don't he said, I'll shoot some lead And you won't go there twice daily Well the very next day in the month of May Held the ceremony Paid off the Vicar with a gallon of Liquor Rode to church on a pony And the Village folks for miles around Waved and shouted gaily There's no doubt, you'll get caught out If you go there twice daily Now to Lucy's joy, she had a boy what a little darling Round and fat as a Cheshire cat Perky as a Starling Skin were smooth as a cider jar An we called him Buster Bailey Frettin' on Swedes and cheroot weeds And a pint of Scrump' twice daily Now I'm old, my story's told Of forty years together And we often stray, where we tossed the hay In that old fine Summer weather Kids we got full ten or more We goes on quite gaily Though I'm old and grey.... When I gets my way.... I still goes there Twice daily. It was sung by Adg Cutler and the Wurzels.
Adg died many years ago. But he was a nice man.
It may not be perfect but I don't think anyone cared when I sang it. I bluffed what I didn't know too well.

Hope this is the song you were looking for.
