Test your knowledge...we are stumped!
Here is a little collection of bit part lyrics gathered in snatches that I have been nursing and as yet have been unable to identify/ complete.....Can you help?! Also, if you know who sings a good rendition, I would be eternally grateful, these have been going round and round for a while!!!

Here goes...
1.
And if I was a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing,
I'd follow the vessel my true love sailed in,
and in that fair brigand(?) I'd there build my nest,
flutter my wings 'gainst his lily white chest.........ish ?
2.
I am eighteen years old today mama and I'm longing to be wed
so find for me a young man to be with me she said.
so find for me a young man to lie with me at night,
and I'll roll him in my a a a arms he'll be my one delight.....?

And finally 3.
The Dalesmans litany.......do you know who sings a good version of this that I might buy

Hooray many thanks and pats on the back to whoever unravels my mini mystery.....
