Sorry,
The title in Bell's Rhymers of The Northern Bards (1812) is Dol Li A, which I think is a nonsense refrain.
Dillen - runt is, I think, a word from around Stratford on Avon - hence the book of the same name.
If you are singing the old version a couple of other explanations might be useful:
Black Cuffs - North Yorks Militia
Green Cuffs - 23 Ulster Dragoons
