Christiana Quick-Cleveland - Carrion Crow Lyrics

Carrion crow, sitting on an oak
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me
He called for a tailor to cut him a coat
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me

Hi falero gil fin a garo
Hi falero gil fin a gay
Up jumped Johnny a-ringing of his bell
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me

Wife, O wife, bring hither my bow
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me
That I may shoot this carrion crow
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me

Hi falero gil fin a garo
Hi falero gil fin a gay
Up jumped Johnny a-ringing of his bell
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me

The tailor shot and he missed his mark
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me
And shot his old sow bang through the heart
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me

Hi falero gil fin a garo
Hi falero gil fin a gay
Up jumped Johnny a-ringing of his bell
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me

Wife, O wife, bring brandy in a spoon
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me
The old sow's fallen in a swoon
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me

Hi falero gil fin a garo
Hi falero gil fin a gay
Up jumped Johnny a-ringing of his bell
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me

The old sow died and the bells did toll
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me
And the little pigs squeaked for the old sow's soul
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me

Hi falero gil fin a garo
Hi falero gil fin a gay
Up jumped Johnny a-ringing of his bell
With a ling dong dilly dol kiro me
