Owd Johnny Walker

Owd John ny Walker went to Middleton Fair,
Bowt three horses, one was a mare,
One was blind and one couldn't see
And the other had 'is 'ead where 'is tail should be.

CHORUS
Foil the diddle air diddle air diddle I do
Foil the diddle air diddle air diddle I do
Foil the diddle air diddle air diddle I do
Foil the diddle I do

He rode her up through Aiky wood
He thowt it ud do 'er a bit of good
Bunged her 'ead again a tree
An' our owd mare was fit to dee.

Owd Johnny Walker took his mare
To sell her up at Appieby Fair
She wouldn't fetch a farthin' there
So he took 'er back home an' he sold 'er.

Fetched her water in a kit
That owd mare drunk every bit
Fetched her treacle on a spoon
And that old mare were dead by noon.

Now when Johnny Walker's mare she died
He cried and cried and cried and cried
And cried and cried and cried and cried
Till he drowned 'imself in t' water.
