This is copied from ClassicalConnect.com where there is also a playable recording. It says it is by the National Collegiate Chorale of Scotland.

Hey, I like that word "parlorized!"


ISLAND SPINNING SONG

CHORUS: Hullamackadoo, hooravahee,
Hoorovahinda, hoorovahinda,
Hullamackadoo, hooravahee,
O dicko-o-deck-o-dandy

When will someone come to me?
Will he come by land or sea?
Will he my own lover be?
O, tell me truly, wheel.

Wheel o' fate what is't you say?
This year, next, or ne'er a day?
When will wooer come my way?
O, tell me truly, wheel.

Be he dark or be he fair,
Shy or bold or debonair,
Ribbons braw will deck my hair
To meet and greet my true love.
