Frank Purslow - The Carrion Crow lyrics

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!"
