The Old Man - Kate Rusby |
| [00:19.36] |
There was an old man who lived in a wood |
| [00:21.52] |
As you can plainly see |
| [00:23.86] |
He said he could do as much work in a day |
| [00:26.28] |
As his wife could do in three |
| [00:28.66] |
With all my heart the woman she said |
| [00:30.97] |
If that's what you will allow |
| [00:33.17] |
Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead |
| [00:35.80] |
And I go drive the plough |
| [00:39.07] |
But you must milk our Tidy the cow |
| [00:41.55] |
For fear she will go dry |
| [00:43.80] |
You must feed the littlest pigs |
| [00:46.24] |
That are within the sty |
| [00:48.35] |
And you must mind the speckled hen |
| [00:50.82] |
For fear she'll lay away |
| [00:53.08] |
And then you must reel the spool of yarn |
| [00:55.63] |
That I spun yesterday |
| [01:01.54] |
The woman she took up her staff in her hand |
| [01:03.59] |
And she went to drive the plough |
| [01:05.91] |
The old man took up a pale in his hand |
| [01:08.25] |
And he went to milk the cow |
| [01:10.59] |
But Tidy hinched and Tidy flinched |
| [01:12.88] |
And Tidy broke his nose |
| [01:16.39] |
And Tidy she gave to him such a big blow |
| [01:18.83] |
The poor man took to his toes |
| [01:44.27] |
Hi Tidy home Tidy |
| [01:46.45] |
Tidy thou stand still |
| [01:48.58] |
If ever I'm ill be tidy again |
| [01:50.93] |
Be sore against my will |
| [01:53.16] |
He went to feed the little pigs |
| [01:55.47] |
That were within the sty |
| [01:57.81] |
He hit his big head upon a thick beam |
| [02:00.23] |
And he made his red blood fly |
| [02:06.53] |
He went to find the speckledy hen |
| [02:08.36] |
For fear she'd lay astray |
| [02:10.54] |
Forgot to reel the spool of yarn |
| [02:12.96] |
His wife spun yesterday |
| [02:15.07] |
He swore by the sun the moon the stars |
| [02:17.54] |
The green leaves on the tree |
| [02:20.90] |
If his wife didn't do a days work in her life |
| [02:23.30] |
She won't be ruled by he |
| [02:26.75] |
There was an old man who lived in a wood |
| [02:29.04] |
As you can plainly see |
| [02:31.21] |
He said he could do as much work in a day |
| [02:33.68] |
As his wife could do in three |
| [02:35.82] |
With all my heart the woman she said |
| [02:38.28] |
If that's what you will allow |
| [02:41.75] |
Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead |
| [02:44.05] |
And I go drive the plough |
