Thread Name: Lyr Req: Somebody threw a tomato at him
Subject: Looking for a Song
I was wondering if anyone knows of a song with the following lyrics:

" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
10 9 8 4 6 5 4 3 2 1

To market, to market with my brother jim
Somebody threw a tomato at him
Tomatoes are soft & they don't bruise the skin
But this one killed Jim; it was wrapped in a tin!

Chorus- Get away, get away
It's a mighty fine song & I'll sing it all day.

(repeat counting)

Mary the Milk Maid was milking her cow
The trouble with Mary, she didn't know how
The farmer came by & gave Mary the sack
So she flipped the cow over & poured the milk back!

(repeat chorus & counting)"

I know there's at least one more verse, maybe two. If anyone know the rest of the words and/or the title of the song, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.

Craig
