Actually, it might be swearing in irish,
considering the first line of the song is
"As I roved out in the May mornin'
In a May mornin' right early
I met me love upon the road
And Lord but she was easy"
So, could be swearing.
But a fair colleen being taken advantage of thusly
has every right to sing "A-litta-doo-de-litta-doo-da-litta-doo-da-dee"...
Of course, nothing compares to the onomatopoeia of
