This is a bit rude to go in your Children's Songs Entry, Emmily but, whilst tidying my filing cabinet I pulled out the file labelled 'Music' and found this treasure:
Cock- Doodle-Doo.
When walking out the other day along Victoria Park
Along with a very old friend of mine we went out for a lark
We saw a man there selling fowls, he had a lovely stock
I handed him half-a-crown and he gave me a....
Chorus
Cock-a-Doodle-Doo, Cock-a-Doodle-Doo,
Hickety, pickety you know what, it's quitew enough for you.
I put the old cock under my arm a-walking along the street
Along with a very old friend of mine my Judy I did meet
She put her arm around me and gave me quite a shock
She put her hand right up my coat and then she got hold of my...
Chorus
I took the old cock home with me and I put him in a cage
Along woith another old hen of mine and they went in a rage
Some lady friends was passing by and thought it quite a lark
And one of them she said to me: The hen got hold of the...
Chorus
Kind friends what I am telling you is only a bit of chaff
The reason why I'm here tonight is just to make you laugh
And when I come this way again I'll have a better stock
And just to please you one and all I'll show to you my
Chorus
This is another one on the same sheet:
The Buxom Dairy Maid
I am a young dairy maid buxom and bright
In minding my dairy I take great delight
In making of butter and cheese that is new
And a young man to play with me how d'you do
Chorus
With me gee ho Dobbin, Drive on your waggon
Drive on your waggon, Gee up and gee ho.
The first was Johnny, a pretty plough boy
He called me his honey, delight and his joy
He kissed me so sweetly, my cheek gave a pat
And he's welcome at all times to shave for all that
The next a young shepherd a buxom young lad
And many a frolic together we had
He used me so kindly he shoved it in tight
Ands he played a sweet tune on his tapering pipe.
The waggoners they are all jolly blades
They know very well how to please young maiuds
They are hearty and willing, good-natured and free
And those are the boys that shall do it for me.
My mother she told me of men to be beware
Unless they should draw my poor heart in a snare
But for all advice still I care not a fig
For young men shall play with my hairy wig
My snatch is my own and the ground is the King's
It is free for a young man that brings a good thing
So let him be strong or ever so stout
I'll warrant I'll make him to quickly give out.
The musical scores are on the sheet, so I'll get my daughter to play the tunes.
