Could be the song "Oh No Not I" which contains the line "Oh [no] no not I my love" in some versions.
A Newfoundland sailor was walking in the Strand
He met a pretty fair maid and took her by the hand
Will you go to Newfoundland fair maid he did cry?
But all her answer was Oh no, not I my love, Oh no, not I
[hard to make the end fit]
If sung I suspect it would be played without repeats.
