I learnt a nonsense song from my grandmother (born 1890 in Midlands)
Does anyone know anything about it?  Could the lyrics be Romani?  Is
it the same as one in Cecil Sharp"s Appalachian Folk Songbook?  Here
goes..
Kormi namo kildy cado 
Kormi namo kormi
Rim strim strom a diddle
Larrabone a ringum 
A ringum borradiddle kormi
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

Thank you so much for finding that website.  Definitely the same song,
Especially as the era and location of my source are exactly the same
as theirs.
Thanks.
