IN THE TALL GRASS 185

In the tall tall grass
Young Mary lay a-sleeping
When out of the tall grass
A pilot came a-creeping
With his long dingle dangle dingling
Right down to his knee.

Three months have gone by
Young Mary she grew bolder
She wished that the pilot
Would come and do it over
With his long dangle dingle dangling

Six months have gone by
And Mary she grew fatter
The neighbors did wonder
Just who had been at her
With his long dingle dangle dingling
Right down to his knee.

Nine months have gone by
And Mary burst asunder
And out jumped a pilot
With his 67th number
With his long dangle dingle dangling
Right down to his knee.
