The song as I know it...

Sally, My Dear

1. Oh, Sally, my dear, I wish I could woo you.
   Oh, Sally, my dear, I wish I could woo you.
   She laughed in reply: Faith, much good would it do you!

Chorus: To me whack fol-the-diddle dido
        To me whack fol-the-diddle dee.

2. Oh, Sally, my dear, your lips I would kiss 'em
   She laughed in reply: Oh, you'd probably miss 'em!

3. If all the young girls were hares on the mountain
   Then all the young men would take sticks and go hunting.

4. If all the young girls were blackbirds and thrushes
   Then all the young men would go beating the bushes.

5. If all the young girls were ducks on the water
   They'd laugh when they saw the men waddling after.

6. If all the young girls were bells in a tower
   Young men would turn sextons, and peal them each hour.

7. If all the young girls were bricks in a pile
   Young men would turn masons, and lay them in style.

8. Oh, Sally, my dear, I wish I could woo you.
   She laughed in reply: Faith, much good would it do you!
