"One Sunday Morning." Sung by Susie S. Barlow of Salt Lake City Nov. 28, 1948. Collected by Hubbard.
1. One Sunday morning
Just as the day was dawning,
Twas there I met a pretty little maid,
Before the sun was rising.
CHORUS: To ma roo ri row, to ma rattle inka day,
To ma roo row rattle inka dandy.
2. Her shoes were black, her stocking white,
The buckles were of silver,
She had a dark and rolling eye,
Her hair hung o'er her shoulder.
3. Where are you going my pretty little maid?
Where are you going my honey?
So modestly she answered me,
On an errand for my mommie.
4. Will you marry me, my pretty little maid?
Will you marry me, my honey?
So modestly she answered me,
"I dare not for my mommie."
5. If I should come to your mama’s house.
When the night is dark and dreary,
Would you get up and let me in,
Your ma she should not hear you.
6. If you should come to your mama’s house.
When the moon shone bright and clearly,
I would get up and let you in,
I wouldn't care if she heard me."
