Ring Ding Billy Ding

Ring-ding-billy-ding cow-hee
Play on little tom, play on he
Call little Bill tum a ring-ding billy ding, cow-hee
Saw a hawk set tin' on a limb
He winked at me and I winked at him
Tum a ring-ding-billy-ding cow-hee
Play on little tom, play on he
Call little Bill tum a ring-ding-billy-ding, cow-hee
Went to the house to get my gun
First at a walk and then at a run
Tum a ring-ding-billy-ding cow-hee
Play on little tom, play on he
Call little Bill tum a ring-ding-billy-ding, cow-hee
Shot at the hawk and missed my mark
Shot my old black sow clean to the heart
Tum a ring-ding-billy-ding cow-hee
Play on little tom, play on he
Call little Bill tum a ring-ding-billy-ding, cow-hee
Buried my old sow under the house
Always had blood pudding and souse
Tum a ring-ding-billy-ding cow-hee
Play on little tom, play on he
Call little Bill tum a ring-ding-billy-ding, cow-hee
My saddle and bridle hangin' under the shelf
If you want any more you can sing it yourself
Tum a ring-ding-billy-ding cow-hee
Play on little tom, play on he
Call little Bill tum a ring-ding-billy-ding, cow-hee
