THERE WAS A MAN.

Reading edition

There was a man, and he had nought, And robbers came to rob him;

Up the roof
Up the roof

He crept up to the chimney-pot,

AND THEN THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD HIM
AND THEN THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD HIM
BUT HE GOT DOWN ON T'OTHER SIDE
BUT HE GOT DOWN ON T'OTHER SIDE

And then they could not find him;

Looking for him
Looking for him

He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days, And never looked behind him.

14 miles
14 miles
