HIS FAITHER DEED/ AND LEFT HIM A HORSE

His faither deed
And left him a horse,
A bonny little horse
That gaed trot, trot, trot!

Wing, wing waddelery,
Jake sing saddelery,
Little boy waddelery
Under the broo!

He sellt the horse,
And he bocht a coo,
A bonny little coo
That said "Moo, moo, moo!"

He sellt the coo,
And he bocht a soo,
A bonny little soo
That said "Grumph, grumph, grumph!"

With my wing wang waddle oh,
Jack sing saddle oh,
Blowsey boys bubble oh,
Under the broom.
