B. I'm Scarce Sixteen Come Sunday- Sung by Mr. Richard Hartlan of South East Passage, NS before 1950.
1. As I rode out one May morning
Just as the day was dawning,
Twas there I spied a pretty fair maid
And she was her mama's darling.
CHORUS: With my rue dum da, fall the diddle da,
Fall the diddle, diddle dido.
2 Where are you going, my pretty fair maid?
Oh, where are you going, my honey?
She answered me, most modestly,
On an errand for my mama.
