Island Spinning Song

Hullamackadoo, hooravahee,

Hoorovahinda, hoorovahinda,

Hullamackadoo, hooravahee,

O dicko-o-deck-o-dandy

When will someone come to me?

Will he come by land or sea?

Will he my own lover be?

O, tell me truly, wheel.

Wheel o' fate what is't you say?

This year, next, or ne'er a day?

When will wooer come my way?

O, tell me truly, wheel.

Be he dark or be he fair,

Shy or bold or debonair,

Ribbons braw will deck my hair

To meet and greet my true love.
