OM he was a piper's son, TOM when He learn'd to play when he was young, But all the tunes that he could play, Was "Over the hills and far away;" Over the hills, and a great way off, noise, That he pleas'd both the girls and boys, Tom with his pipe did play with such skill, Copyright 1897 by F. Warne & Co. LL.B. As Dolly was milking her cow one day, He met old Dame Trot with a basket of eggs; He saw a cross fellow was beating an ass, Heavy laden with pots, pans, dishes, and glass; He took out his pipe and played them a tune, And the jackass's load was lightened full soon. N ONDON BRIDGE is broken down, L Dance o'er my Lady Lee; London Bridge is broken down, With a gay lady. How shall we build it up again? Build it up with silver and gold, Dance o'er my Lady Lee; Build it up with silver and gold, Silver and gold will be stole away, Dance o'er my Lady Lee; Silver and gold will be stole away, With a gay lady. Build it up with iron and steel, Dance o'er my Lady Lee; Build it up with iron and steel, With a gay lady. Iron and steel will bend and bow, Build it up with wood and clay, Dance o'er my Lady Lee; Wood and clay will wash away, Dance o'er my Lady Lee; Build it up with stone so strong, Dance o'er my Lady Lee; I LOVE sixpence, pretty little sixpence, I love sixpence better than my life; I spent a penny of it, I spent another, And took fourpence home to my wife. |
