There are three versions of Sweet Violets in the Digital Tradition database. The first one uses "My Bonny Lies over the Ocean", for the verses but #2 and #3 use the tune Joe posted. Version 3 is the one I remember from the early 60s, but had another verse:-
^^

Face and arranging her vanity box
And taking precautions to ward off the
What did you think I was going to say?
You dirty young bugger, that's all for today.
In a similar vein was:
She went for a ride in a Morgan,
She sat with the driver up front.
He played with her genital organ,
Which the more vulgar-minded callRing-ting-a-ling,
Ring-ting-a-ling,

Play on my Spanish Guitar.Some nights she dined at the Palais,
Others she dined at the Ritz,
Showing acres and acres of bosom,
Which the more vulgar-minded call
Ring-ting-a-ling,I'm sure there must have been more verses to this one too, but it's over 35 years since I last heard it. Can anyone out there help?
Ring-ting-a-ling,
Ring out the bells.
Play on my Spanish Guitar.
