gully sings : `` well , jack was a sailor , and he walked up to town and she was a damsel , who skipped up and down '' then i pipes up with : `` says the damsel to jack as she passed him by , would you care for to purchase some old bungo rye , '' and then we both come in for the chorus : `` ruddy rye , ruddy rye , fall the diddle die , ruddy rye , ruddy rye .
