Pete Seeger - Down-a-Down lyrics

Here's a song for one and all (down-a-down and down-a-down) Here's a song for one and all (with a down) Here's a song for one and all About a man just two feet tall (with a-down, derry derry derry down down) He met a dame on Blytheswood square … She was forty, fat and fair She says to him with a tender smile … "Would you be free for a wee short while?" His evil mind began to roam … When she said "Deary, come on home" She showed him to her room and said … "Put all your clothes upon that bed" She said "I'll be right back in a tick" … The wee man through his clothes off quick She brought her seven children in … Said, "See that ruckle of bone and skin?" Says she, destroying all his courage … "That's what you get when you don't eat porridge"
