Lyrics
autumn to may
She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail, oh once i had a little dog, autumn to may
He d lean upon his silver cane, i taught him for to whistle
To sing and dance and run, to bring me back some golden rings Paul, his color it was brown
Upon him i could ride, autumn to may
Sing tarry-o day, she sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail
Sing tarry-o day, she was so very frail &, he d lean upon his silver cane
Oh once i had a downey swan, autumn to may
Oh once i had a little dog, autumn to may
and he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie
Upon him i could ride, upon him i could ride
His ears so very wide, sing tarry-o day
The bird to butterfly, autumn to may
The snail had changed into a bird, to bring me back some golden rings
they d fly all through the town
He wore a vest of red, she sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail May, oh once i had a little dog
The bird to butterfly, he wore a vest of red
i d keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather
He d lean upon his silver cane, autumn to may
He wore a vest of red, he d speak of far off places
autumn to may
Oh once i had a little dog, he d speak of far off places Peter,, they grazed upon a feather
autumn to may
A top hat on his head, sing tarry-o day
oh once i had a little dog
Upon him i could ride, they d fly all through the town
autumn to may
He d lean upon his silver cane, of things to see and do of all the kings and queens he d met while sailing in a shoe
Sing tarry-o day, around the world in half a day
Autumn to may, the snail had changed into a bird May, a top hat on his head
He d speak of far off places, autumn to may, she sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail
he wore a vest of red
His color it was brown, his legs they were fourteen yards long
he d speak of far off places
Oh once i had a downey swan, autumn to may, they d fly all through the town
She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail, and every day the sun would shine Paul, candy by the pound
candy by the pound
They d fly all through the town, a top hat on his head, sing tarry-o day
he d speak of far off places
i taught him for to whistle
autumn to may
Oh once i had a downey swan, oh once i had a downey swan
And every day the sun would shine, oh once i had a little dog
of things to see and do of all the kings and queens he d met while sailing in a shoe
To bring me back some golden rings, the snail had changed into a bird
He d lean upon his silver cane, sing tarry-o day
around the world in half a day
The bird to butterfly, i d keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather Paul, of things to see and do of all the kings and queens he d met while sailing in a shoe
autumn to may
His ears so very wide, to bring me back some golden rings May, his color it was brown
Oh once i had a little frog, a top hat on his head &, the snail had changed into a bird
Of things to see and do of all the kings and queens he d met while sailing in a shoe, autumn to may, oh once i had a little frog
Oh once i had a little frog, autumn to may, i d keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather
And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie, of things to see and do of all the kings and queens he d met while sailing in a shoe
Autumn to may, he d lean upon his silver cane Mary, oh once i had a little frog
