ROGER CAME TAPPING AT DOLLY'S WINDOW. AKA and see "Mumpety Mump," "Roger and Dolly." English, Air (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Roger and Dolly" was a song in The Musical Century vol. 1 (1737, p. 49) by wikipedia:Henry_Carey_(writer) (1687–1743), a collection of his best poems set to music (including his popular "Sally in our Alley (1)"). The first two stanzas go:
Young Roger came tapping at Dolly's window,
Tumpaty, tumpaty, tump.
He begg'd for admittance, she answer'd him, No!
Glumpaty, glumpaty, glump.
My Dolly, my dear, your true love is here,
Dumpaty, dumpaty, dump.
No, Roger, no, as you came you may go,
Clumpaty, clumpaty, clump.
Oh! what is the reason, dear Dolly, he cried,v Pumpaty, pumpaty, pump.
That thus I'm cast off and unkindly deny'd,
Frumpaty, frumpaty, frump.
Some rival more dear I guess has been here,
Crumpaty, crumpaty, crump.
Suppose there's been two; pray, sir, what's that to you?
Numpaty, numpaty, nump.
