American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE SPANISH LADY. 
Yonder sits a Spanish lady, who she is I do not know; I'll go court her for her beauty, let her answer be yea or no, 
Chorus. Nedy nm a do to dod dum da, nedy um a do to du dum da. Madam, I have come a-courting, though your name I do not know; I will court you for your beauty, let your answer be yes or no.- Chorus. 
Sir, if you have come a-courting some kind pleasure for to win, I will kindly entertain you if you will never come again.- Chorus. 
Madam, I have gold and silver: Madam, I have house and land; Madam, I have a world of treasure, all to be at your command.- Chorus. 
What care I for your gold and silver, what care I for your house and land; What care I for your world of treasure, all I want is a handsome man. - Chorus. 
Blue is a pretty color when it gets a second dip, Young men when they go a-courting very often get the slip.- Chorus. 
Ripest apples soonest rotten, hottest love soonest cold; Young men's vows are soon forgotten, pray, pretty maids, don't be so bold.- Cho 
Iowa boys are the boys of honor, to court pretty maids they're not afraid. Hug them, kiss them, call them honey; that's the way, boys; don't be afraid. 
-Chorus.
