Verse 1
If I went to see Mary to her I was blind,
Betsy directly came into my mind;
If I went to see Betsy it was quite the contrary,
For I was always sure to be thinking of Mary.
Chorus
Fal di lal riddle o! Fal di lal riddle to!
Fal di la right foe the riddle di dee.
Verse 2
Things went on like for five or six weeks,
And I never could muster up courage to speak;
Till, all of a sudden, they both went to church,
And left me a bachelor quite in the lurch.
Chorus
Verse 3
Young men, be advised, and get it into your sconce,
And never go courting two wenches at once;
For with one less you may work your way safe and sound,
But between two stools your rump comes to the ground.
Chorus
