A Shoulder of Mutton Jumped over from France.

As I was a-walking along in the fields
    Fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.
As I was a-walking along in the fields
I saw St. Pauls' Steeple a-running on wheels
.     With a fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.

On top of the Steeple, O what should I see
    Fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.
On top of the Steeple, O what should I see
But a fine young sapling codling tree.
    With a fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.

When the codlings were ripe they began to fall;
    Fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.
When the codlings were ripe they began to fall;
They killed six thousand people and all.
    With a fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.

They killed a man when he was dead
    Fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.
They killed a man when he was dead
And sent for some people to look for his head.
    With a fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.

And in his head they found a spring
    Fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.
And in his head they found a spring
And twenty live salmon a-swimming within.
    With a fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.

Each salmon was as big as an elf
    Fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.
Each salmon was as big as an elf
If you want any more you must sing it yourself.
    With a fal lal, lal-de-ro-lee.
