The carrion crow was a-sitting on an oak
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
The carrion crow was a-sitting on an oak
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
The carrion crow was a-sitting on an oak
A-watching a tailor a-cutting out a cloak!
To my heigh-ho
The carrion crow
"Pork!"
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
The carrion crow, he began for to rave
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
The carrion crow, he began for to rave
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
The carrion crow, he began for to rave
And he called the old tailor a lousy old knave!
To my heigh-ho!
The carrion crow
"Pork!"
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
"Oh wife, go and fetch me my arrow and my bow
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
OH wife! Go and fetch me my arrow and my bow
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
Oh wife! Go and fetch me my arrow and my bow
That I may go shoot at that old carrion crow!"
To my heigh-ho
The carrion crow
"Pork!"
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
Now he tailor, he shot and he just missed the mark
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
The tailor, he shot and he just missed the mark
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
The tailor, he shot and he just missed the mark
And he shot the old dairyman's sow right through the heart!
To my heigh-ho
The carrion crow
"Pork!"
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
"Oh wife! Go and fetch me some treacle in a spoon
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
Oh wife! Go and fetch me some treacle in a spoon
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
Oh wife! Go and fetch me some treacle in a spoon
For the dairyman's old sow's in a damn poor tune."
To my heigh-ho
The carrion crow
"Pork!"
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
Now the old sow, she died and the bell began to toll
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
And the little pigs are prayin for the old sow's soul!
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
"Never mind!" said the tailor, "I don't care a louse
For now ther'll be black-puddings and chitterlings in the house!"
To my heigh-ho
The carrion crow
"Pork!"
Foul-de-loul-de-diddle-loul-de-di-do
To my heigh-ho
The carrion crow
"Pork!"
