| [00:17.22] |
It rained, it poured, it rained so hard |
| [00:21.68] |
It rained so hard all day |
| [00:25.49] |
Then all the boys in our school |
| [00:29.42] |
Came out to toss and play |
| [00:33.23] |
They tossed a ball again so high |
| [00:37.27] |
Then again so low |
| [00:41.19] |
They tossed it into a flower garden |
| [00:45.32] |
Where no one was allowed to go |
| [00:49.02] |
Up stepped a gypsy lady |
| [00:52.85] |
All dressed in yellow and green |
| [00:56.86] |
"Come in, come in my pretty little boy |
| [01:00.90] |
And get your ball again" |
| [01:04.64] |
"I won't come in, I shan't come in |
| [01:08.81] |
Without my playmates all |
| [01:12.61] |
I'll go to my father and tell him about it |
| [01:16.61] |
That'll cause tears to fall" |
| [01:20.41] |
She first showed him an apple seed |
| [01:24.38] |
Then again gold rings |
| [01:28.17] |
Then she showed him a diamond |
| [01:32.32] |
That enticed him in |
| [01:51.52] |
She took him by his lily-white hand |
| [01:55.95] |
She led him through the hall |
| [01:59.51] |
She put him in an upper room |
| [02:03.12] |
Where no-one could hear him call |
| [02:06.84] |
"Oh, take these finger rings off of my fingers |
| [02:10.86] |
Smoke them with your breath |
| [02:14.57] |
If any of my friends should call for me |
| [02:18.37] |
Tell them that I'm at rest" |
| [02:22.63] |
"Bury the bible at my head |
| [02:25.93] |
A testament at my feet |
| [02:28.20] |
If my dear mother should call for me |
| [02:33.89] |
Tell her that I'm asleep" |
| [02:37.74] |
"Bury the bible at my feet |
| [02:41.13] |
A testament at my head |
| [02:45.20] |
If my dear father should call for me |
| [02:49.13] |
Tell him that I am dead" |
| [02:51.59] |
