A NICE YOUNG MAN
A nice young man, one day did go
into the meadow, for to mow,
And a fang dang diddle-um, fang dang day,
Fang dang diddle-um day.
He mowed all day untill he did feel
A poisenous something bite his heel.
And a fang dang- etc.
They took him to Nollie dear
Which made her feel so very queer,
etc.
Now Johnie dear why did you go
Into the meadow for to mow?
etc.
Oh, Mollie dear, did you not know
T'was daddy's hay and it must be mowed.
etc.
So Johnie dear gave up the ghost
And home to Abraham's bosom he did post.
etc.
Come all young men pray warning take
And don't be bitten by a big black snake.
etc.
