Carolyne Hughes, Flash Gals and Airy (Seventeen Come Sunday)
From Folktrax
Please, help: I can't get part of the first chorus and the third stanza...

O will you have a man, my fair purty maid,
Just will you have a man, my honey?
O she answered me quite civilty
Yes, I say I'll have you young man

With your …(???) and all
Fol di diddle die doe
Flash gals and airy-O

O as I was a-walking early one morning
'T was early in the Spring-O
O she come to me with her horse and saddle
She said: Yes my darling, come with me, don't let my daddy know

Fol di diddle die doe
Flash gals and airy-O

(and there's a third stanza, of which I can get few words)
