1 There was an old man lived under the hill,
If he's not moved away he's living there still.
Sing fal- dal diddling diddling,
Fa-la la link dink diddling day.
2.
Sing fal- dal diddling diddling,
Fa-la la link dink diddling day.
3. Saw the old devil going through the field,
Says one of your family I'm gonna steal.
Sing fal- dal diddling diddling,
Fa-la la link dink diddling day.
4.
Sing fal- dal diddling diddling,
Fa-la la link dink diddling day.
