lyrics

Dol-Li-A

It's fresh I come down Sandgate Street
Dol-Li, Dol-Li
My best friends here to meet
Dol-Li-A

Dol-Li, de-dillen-dol, Dol-Li, Dol-Li
Dol-Li, de-dillen-dol, Dol-Li-A

Dolly Coxon' pawned her shirt
Dol-Li, Dol-Li
To ride upon a baggage cart
Dol-Li-A

Dol-Li, de-dillen-dol, Dol-Li, Dol-Li
Dol-Li, de-dillen-dol, Dol-Li-A

The green cuffs have gone away
Dol-Li, Dol-Li
That will be a crying day
Dol-Li-A

Dol-Li, de-dillen-dol, Dol-Li, Dol-Li
Dol-Li, de-dillen-dol, Dol-Li-A

The black cuffs are coming in
Dol-Li, Dol-Li
That will make the lasses sing
Dol-Li-A

Dol-Li, de-dillen-dol, Dol-Li, Dol-Li
Dol-Li, de-dillen-dol, Dol-Li-A

(Trad. arr. Weihrauch / Miller)
