"Wife, bring me my old bent bow,
Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, he ding do,
That I may shoot yon carrion crow,
Sing he, sing ho, the old carrion crow, Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, he ding do.
The tailor shot, and he missed his mark, Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, he ding do,
And shot the miller's sow right through the heart; Sing he, sing ho, the old carrion crow, Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, he ding do.
Wife! oh wife ! bring brandy in a spoon; Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, he ding do,
For the old miller's sow is in a swoon;
Sing he, sing ho, the old carrion crow, Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, he ding do.
A S I was going along, long, -"" long, A singing a comical song, song,
song, The lane that I went was so long,
long, long, And the song that I sung was so
long, long, long, And so I went singing along.
