Mr Fox ADD: One for Rook, one for crow (Guist Ploughman) (34) RE: Req: One for Rook, one for crow (Guist Ploughman) 26 Apr 10


Peregrina - Found it! (Didn't take me as long as I expected!) Here goes -

Mouse and the Crow
Carolanne Pegg


One for the mouse and one for the crow,
One for to rot and one for to grow
Big fat bird flying high
I'll get there by and by.

Little old lady, broom nearby,
Keeping cobwebs away from her eye,
But the cat's got the bacon, rat's got the rind,
I'll stay blind if you don't mind.

Tonight we'll dance, tonight we'll sing,
Tonight we'll do most anything.
So clap those hands, shake those bones,
Tap those toes, I'm coming home.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The tune is an odd mix of folk and country (kind of square and morris dance)with a jig to close.
