[00:01.76]There once was a girl in the olden days
[00:05.42]
[00:06.15]Grew weary of men with a roving gaze
[00:10.84]
[00:11.68]Farewell fickle lovers goodbye goodbye
[00:15.72]For I'm falling in love with the man in the sky
[00:19.28]
[00:22.41]The man in the sky he walks in haste
[00:25.90]With three bright buckles around his waist
[00:29.60]And a great dog near and a little dog nigh
[00:33.66]
[00:34.57]And a steady gleam in his golden eye
[00:39.56]
[00:42.90]The girl went out on a windy hill
[00:45.28]
[00:46.25]And cried when the night was dark and still
[00:50.12]
[00:51.28]Come down come down you man in the sky
[00:55.18]Or else I am likely to pine and die
[01:00.42]
[01:01.50]The man in the sky didn't stop to talk
[01:05.03]He went right on with his evening walk
[01:08.73]And the great dog howled and the little dog whined
[01:12.83]
[01:14.01]And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd
[01:19.82]
[01:22.06]She took to her bed from the light of the sun
[01:24.90]But when the sun his course had run
[01:28.90]
[01:29.97]She went to her window so high so high
[01:33.97]And waited and watched orion go by
[01:37.29]
[01:40.37]The man in the sky he walked in haste
[01:43.77]With three bright buckles around his waist
[01:47.39]And a great dog near and a little dog nigh
[01:51.65]
[01:52.50]And a gleam for her in his golden eye
[01:57.69]
[02:00.63]One night she stood on her windowsill
[02:02.89]
[02:03.77]And stepped right out on the highest hill
[02:07.34]
[02:08.11]And climbed to the place where the planets are
[02:12.19]And jumped from there to the nearest star
[02:16.58]
[02:18.22]She rocked in cassiopeia's chair
[02:22.11]And waked the dragon and roused the bear
[02:25.76]And the great dog howled and the little dog whined
[02:29.51]
[02:30.32]And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd
[02:35.92]
[02:38.20]She found orion at last and then
[02:41.71]She found he was just like other men
[02:45.68]
[02:46.99]When on his shoulder her head she'd lay
[02:51.33]His eye was a million miles away
[02:56.05]
[02:57.78]The great dog howled and the little dog whined
[03:01.17]And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd
[03:04.93]And the dragon snarled and the lion roared
[03:09.30]
[03:10.25]And the stars flew by in a golden horde
[03:16.36]
[03:18.54]This tale has a moral brief to tell
[03:21.23]
[03:22.11]And I won't go on for you know it well
[03:25.71]
[03:26.97]Remember the girl in the days gone by
[03:30.89]Who fell in love with the man in the sky
[03:34.25]
[03:37.13]She rocked in cassiopeia's chair
[03:40.91]And waked the dragon and roused the bear
[03:44.58]And where they buried her I forget
[03:49.03]
[03:50.02]But the man in the sky isn't married yet
