One day in December I'll never forget,
A charming young creature I happily met;
Her eyes shone like diamonds,
she was dressed up to kill,
She was tripping and slipping down Citadel Hill.
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Lidy-I-die.
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Lidy-I-die.
I says, "My fair creature, you will me excuse!"
I offered my arm and she did not refuse;
Her arm locked in mine
made me feel love's sweet thrill,
As we walked off together down Citadel Hill.
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Lidy-I-die.
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Lidy-I-die.
The very next day to the church we did go,
The people all whispered, as well you must know;
Said the priest, "Will you wed?"
Says I, "That we will!"
So we kissed and were hitched upon Citadel Hill.
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum, lidy-I-die.
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum, lidy-I-die.
So now we are married and of children have three,
But me and the missus can never agree;
The first she called Bridget, the second one Bill,
Says I, "The runt's name shall be Citadel Hill."
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum, lidy-I-die.
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum, lidy-I-die.
Come all you young fellows, take warning by me,
If ever in need of a wife you may be;
I'll tell you the place where you'll get your fill,
Go tripping and slipping down Citadel Hill.
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum, lidy-I-die.
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum, lidy-I-die.
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum,
Lidy-I-die.
