Subject: RE: Tune Req: How old are you my pretty little miss
Here's the first two verses and chorus of my dad's version:

Where are you goin my pretty little miss,
Where are you goin my daisy?
O, if I don't get me a young man soon
I think I'm a-goin crazy.
Hi rinktum-a-dinktum-a-diddle diddle dum,
Hi rinktum-a-dincktum-a-doody;
Hi rinktum-a-dinktum-a-diddle diddle dum,
Hi rinctum-a-dinktum-a-doody.

How old are you my pretty little miss,
How old are you my honey?
Well if I don't die of a broken heart,
I'll be sixteen next Sunday.
