MY father he died, but I can't tell you how, He left me six horses to drive in my plough; With my wing, wang, waddle, oh, Jack sing saddle, oh, Blowsey boys buble, oh, Under the broom.

I sold my six horses and I bought me a cow, I'd fain have made a fortune but did not know how; With my wing, wang, waddle, oh, Jack sing saddle, oh, Blowsey boys buble, oh, Under the broom. I sold my cow, and I bought me a calf; I'd fain have made a fortune but lost the best half; With my wing, wang, waddle, oh, Jack sing saddle, oh, Blowsey boys buble, oh, Under the broom. I sold my calf, and I bought me a cat; A pretty thing she was, in my chimney corner sat; With my wing, wang, waddle, oh, Jack sing saddle oh, Blowsey boys buble, oh, Under the broom. I sold my cat and bought me a mouse; He carried fire in his tail, and burnt down my house; With my wing, wang, waddle, oh, Jack sing saddle, oh, Blowsey boys buble, oh, Under the broom.
