Rissely-Rosselty (1953) |
Married a wife in the month of June |
Risselty rosselty, now now now! |
I carried her off by the light of the moon (in a silver spoon) |
Risselty rosselty, hey bombosity, nickety nackety |
Retrical quality, willaby wallaby now now now! |
She combed her hair but once a year |
Risselty rosselty, now now now! |
With every rake she gave a tear |
Risselty rosselty, hey bombosity, (etc.) |
She swept the floor but once a year |
Risselty rosselty, now now now! |
She swore her broom was much too dear |
Risselty rosselty, hey bombosity, (etc.) |
She churned the butter in dad’s old boot |
Risselty rosselty, now now now! |
And for a dasher she uses her foot |
Risselty rosselty, hey bombosity, (etc.) |
The butter came out a grizzledy gray |
Risselty rosselty, now now now! |
The cheese took legs and ran away |
Risselty rosselty, hey bombosity, (etc.) |
(Peggy Seeger) |
The butter and cheese is on the shelf |
Risselty rosselty, now now now! |
If you want any more you can sing it yourself |
Risselty rosselty, hey bombosity, (etc.) |
(from miriam berg’s folksong collection) |
