A CARRION Crow sat on an Oak, Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, hi ding do, Wife, bring me my old bent bow, Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, hi ding do. The tailor he shot, but he missed his mark, And shot the old sow quite through the heart; Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, hi ding do. L ITTLE Tommy Grace Had a pain in his face, So bad that he could not learn a letter; When in came Dicky Long, Singing such a funny song, That Tommy laughed, and found his face much better. Little Tommy Tucker L ITTLE TOMMY TUCKER, Sing for your supper. What shall I sing? White bread and butter. How shall he cut it Without e'er a knife? How shall he marry Without e'er a wife. T There Was an Old Couple HERE was an old couple and they were poor, They lived in a house that had but one door; The old man once he went far from home, The old woman afraid was to stay all alone, O! what a weak woman was she. The old man he came home at last, Fa la, fa la la lee! And found the windows all fast, "O! what is the matter?" quoth he. "O! I've been sick since you have been gone, Fa la, fa la la lee! If you'd been in the garden you'd heard me groan." "O! I'm sorry for that," quoth he. "I have a request to make unto thee, To pluck me an apple from yonder tree”; The old man tried to get up in the tree, But the ladder it fell, and down tumbled he; When I Was a Little Boy HEN I was a little boy my mammy kept me in, WHE But now I am a great boy I'm fit to serve the king; I can hand a musket, and I can smoke a pipe, And I can kiss a pretty girl at twelve o'clock at night. Her back stood up and her bones were bare; He, haw, hum! John Cook was riding up Shuter's bank; He, haw, hum! And there his nag did kick and prank; He, haw, hum! John Cook was riding up Shuter's hill; He, haw, hum! His mare fell down, and she made her will; He, haw, hum! The bridle and saddle were laid on the shelf; He, haw, hum! If you want any more you may sing it yourself; He, haw, hum! |
