COCKY ROBIN
Who killed Cocky Robin?
Who killed Cocky Robin?
I, says the sparrow,
With my little bow and arrow,
It was I, it was I.
Who saw him die?
Who saw him die?
I, says the fly,
With little teenty eye,
It was I, it was I.
Who caught his blood?
Who caught his blood?
I, says the fish,
With my little silver dish,
It was I, it was I.
Who made his coffin?
Who made his coffin?
I, says the crane,
With my little narrow plane,
It was I, it was I.
Who made his shroud-en?
Who made his shroud-en?
I, says the eagle,
With my little fine needle,
It was I, it was I.
Who dug his grave?
Who dug his grave?
I, says the crow,
With my little spade and hoe,
It was I, it was I.
Who hauled him to it?
Who hauled him to it?
I, says the lark,
With my little horse and cart,
It was I, it was I.
Who let him down?
Who let him down?
I, says the flea,
With my little limber knee,
It was I, it was I.
Who pat his grave?
Who pat his grave?
I, says the duck,
With my big splatter foot,
It was I, it was I.
Who preached his funeral?
Who preached his funeral?
I, says the swallow,
Just as loud as I could holler.
It was I, it was I.
