G6                           MOTHER GOOSE'S MELODIES.
A CARRION" crow sat
upon an oak, Fol de rol, de rol, de rol,
de ri do, Watching a tailor cutting
out his cloak; Sing heigh ho! the carrion
crow, Fol de rol, de rol, de rol,
de ri do.
Wife, wife! bring me my bow, Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do,
That I may shoot yon carrion crow; Sing heigh ho! the carrion crow, Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do.
The tailor he shot and miss'd his mark, Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do;
And shot his own sow quite through the heart, Sing heigh ho! the carrion crow, Fol de rol, de rol. de rol, de ri do.
