The Carrion Crow he sat upon an oak

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

Watching a tailor mending his cloak

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

Hey fallo fallee fallero, hey fallo fallero lee

Up jumps John ringin’ on his bell

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

 

Wife bring me my old bent bow

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

And I will shoot yon carrion crow

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

Hey fallo fallee fallero, ……………….

 

The tailor tried but he missed his mark

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

He shot his own sow right through the heart

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

Hey fallo fallee fallero, ……………….

 

Wife bring brandy in a wee spoon

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

Our old sow she’s down in a swoon

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

Hey fallo fallee fallero, ……………….

 

The old sow died and the bells did toll

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

The little pigs prayed for the old sows soul

With a ling dong dilly dong cairo-me

Hey fallo fallee fallero, ……………….
