Ho, pretty bee, did you see my croodlin doo? / Ho, little lamb, is she jinkin' on the lea? / Ho, bonnie fairy, bring my dearie back to me -- / Got a lump o' sugar an' a posie for you, / Only bring back my wee, wee croodlin doo!
Why, here you are, my little croodlin doo! / Looked in er cradle, but didn't find you there, / Looked f'r my wee, wee croodlin doo ever'where; / Ben kind lonesome all er day withouten you; / Where you ben, my little wee, wee croodlin doo?
Now you go balow, my little croodlin doo; / Now you go rockaby ever so far, -- / Rockaby, rockaby, up to the star / That's winkin' an' blinkin' an' singin' to you / As you go balow, my wee, wee croodlin doo!
