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 me 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; / Be'n kind lonesome all er day withouten you -- / Where you be'n, my teeny, 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!
