“Here Comes a Lusty Wooer”

Description

"Herecomes a lusty wooer, My a Dildin my A Daldin, Here comes a lusty wooer, Lilly bright and shine, A." "Pray who do you woo for?" "For your fairest daughter." "Then there she is for you."

Notes

The Opies include this in "The Singing Game" -- and it certainly looks like one. On that basis, I include it in the Index, though it seems quite rare. - RBW
