"I'm a poor old bachelor,
Boo hoo, boo hoo.
I'm a poor old bachelor,
Boo hoo, boo hoo."

"If you're an old bachelor, nobody cares,
Fol dol day, fol dol day.
If you're an old bachelor, nobody cares,
Fol dol day."

"You have a-broken my heart,
Boo hoo, boo hoo.
You have broken my heart,
Boo hoo, boo hoo."

"Your old heart is always broken,
Fol dol day, fol dol day.
Your old heart is always broken,
Fol dol day."

"I'm going away to leave you,
Boo hoo, boo hoo.
I'm going away to leave you,
Boo hoo, boo hoo."

"You can go and just keep going,
Fol dol day, fol dol day.
You can go and just keep going,
Fol dol day, fol dol day."
