Diddle dum dee - Butch Martin [Verse 1]
G                                                    D
When I was just a young lad my heart would jump with glee,

                                           G
Mom would say we’re all goin out to see grammy.

                                                   D
We’d run out in the hay fields and look out at the sea,

                                                         G
And run around like young kids do and hum the diddle dum dee.
[Verse 2]
G                                               D
Was early in the afternoon I guess around about 3

                                                    G
The by’s be in the tar shack just havin a grand old spree.

                                                    D
Drinkin up the Japanese Gin and sing the diddle dum dee,

                                                        G
We’d run out on the sand banks and dance the diddle dum dee.                
[Chorus]
G                                                                           D
And they sang diddle die diddle die diddle dee diddle dee diddle dee diedle dee

                                               G
Eidle dum die diddle dee dum diddle dee diedle dee

                                                   C

                   G         D                     G
That’s the way the old folks played the songs for me.
[Verse 3]
G                                                      D
We never had any instruments but sometimes there would be,

                                                 G
Perhaps an old time fiddle or an accordion and a key.

                                                          D
But then we’d see the old folks we knew there was goin to be,

                                                 G
Perhaps some diddle die dums n plenty diddle die dee.
[Chorus]
G                                                                           D
And they sang diddle die diddle die diddle dee diddle dee diddle dee diedle dee

                                               G

                                                   C
Eidle dum die diddle dee dum die diddle dee diedle dee      

                   G         D                     G
That’s the way the old folks played the sounds for me.
[Verse 4]
G                                                D
Now many years have gone b’y that place I rarely see

                                               G
I miss it with a passion it means the world to me.

                                               D
And when I finally go back and look out at the sea,

                                                G
I hope their in the tar shack singin diddle dum dee.
[Chorus]
G                                                                                D
And I’ll dance to  diddle die diddle die diddle dee diddle dee diddle dee diedle dee

                                               G
Eidle dum die diddle dee dum diddle dee diedle dee

                                                C
Eidle dum die diddle dee dum  diddle dee diedle dee

                    G        D                    G
That’s the way the old folks played the songs for me.
[Outro]
C               G    D          G
And it will live forever in my memory,

  D                                                       G
A diddle die diddle die diddle dee dum diddle dee die dum dee
