I'm glad you posted the version from This Is Music 5, Q. The school textbook says the song was collected by Creighton in Nova Scotia. Now, here's the complete text that Creighton collected. I suppose it is a little strong for fifth-graders, but the censorship does make me uneasy. Note that the "tee diddle" is different - maybe the school version is from a different Creighton source (but I doubt it).

The Quaker's Courtship

1. "MADAME, I have come a-courting, Oh dear,
Not for pleasure, not for sporting, Oh dear."
"You may sit and court the fire,
Tee diddle ding dum ding dum dey,
To go to bed is my desire,
Tee diddle ding durn ding dum dey."

2. "I've a ring and forty shillings, Oh dear,
You may have them if you're willing, Oh dear."
"I don't want your ring and money,
Tee diddle ding dum ding dum dey,
I want a young man to call me honey
Tee diddle ding dum ding dum dey."

3. "Madame, you are young and tender,
Oh dear, And your waist is small and slender, Oh dear."
"But you know the way to flatter,
Tee diddle ding dum ding dum dey,
But I do despise a Quaker,
Tee diddle ding dum ding dum dey."

4. "I'll go home and tell my daddy, Oh dear,
That you're not disposed to marry, Oh dear."
"You go home and tell your daddy,
Tee diddle ding dum ding dum dey,
Find a Quaker girl to marry,
Tee diddle ding dum ding dum dey."

Now that I've transcribed the tune, I can see that this is quite a different song from that in the This Is Music textbook.
