Verse 1
My father was a gay old man
He sent me too service when I was young
My mistress and me could never agree
Because my master he would love me
Chorus
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
My mistress and me could never agree
Because my master he would love me
Verse 2
I went upstairs to make her bed
Nice and easy for her head
The master followed after with a gay gold ring
Take this Betty for your bedmaking
Chorus
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
The master followed after with a gay gold ring
Take this Betty for your bedmaking
Verse 3
My mistress followed me with ease
She caught me all around the waist
Right to the bottom she did me fling
Take this Betty for your bedmaking
Chorus
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
Right to the bottom she did me fling
Take this Betty for your bedmaking
Verse 4
First in the kitchen then in the hall
Then in the parlour before them all
They all asked me where I had been
I told them with the master a-bedmaking
Chorus
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
They all asked me where I had been
I told them with the master a-bedmaking
Verse 5
My mistress she turned me out of the doors
She called me several nasty words
She told me to travel till my shoes where thin
And then I should remember the bedmaking
Chorus
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
She told me to travel till my shoes where thin
And then I should remember the bedmaking
Verse 6
Six months was o'er and ten had come
This pretty little damsel she proved a son
She took it too the church and she had it named John
And she sent it home to the gay old man
Chorus
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
Tiddy for the rido tiddy for the ray
She took it too the church and she had it named John
And she sent it home to the gay old man
