W:Oh, as I roved out one moonlight night,
W:The stars were shining and all things bright,
W:I spied a pretty maid by the light of the moon,
W:And under her apron she carried a loom.

W:Chorus:
W:To me right whack fal the doo-a-di-do-day,
W:Right whack fal the doo-a-di-do-day,
W:Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra lay,
W:To me right whack fal the doo-a-di-do-day.

W:She says, "Young man, what trade do you bear?"
W:Says I, "I'm a weaver, I do declare.
W:I am a weaver, brisk and free"
W:"Would you weave upon my loom, kind sir?" said she.
W:
W:There was Nancy Right and Nancy Rill:
W:For them I wove the Diamond Twill;
W:Nancy Blue and Nancy Brown:
W:For them I wove the Rose and the Crown.
W:
W:So I laid her down upon the grass,
W:I braced her loom both tight and fast,
W:And for to finish it with a joke,
W:I topped it off with a double stroke.
