THREE JOLLY WELSHMEN

Reading edition

Illustration from The Big Book of Nursery Rhymes

There were three jolly Welshmen, As I have heard say, And they went a-hunting Upon St. David's day. All the day they hunted, And nothing could they find; But a ship a-sailing, A-sailing with the wind. One said it was a ship, The other he said "Nay"; The third he said it was a house, With the chimney blown away. And all the night they hunted, And nothing could they find, But the moon a-gliding, A-gliding with the wind. One said it was the moon, The other he said "Nay"; The third he said it was a cheese, With half o' it cut away.
