A little cock sparrow sat on a green tree, (tris)

And he cherruped, he cherruped so merry was he; (tris)

A little cock-sparrow sat on a green tree,

And he cherruped, he cherruped so merry was he.

A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow, (tris)

Determined to shoot this little cock sparrow, (tris)

A naughty, &c.

Determined, &c.

This little cock sparrow shall make me a stew, (tris)

And his giblets shall make me a little pie too, (tris)

Oh, no! said ye sparrow I won't make a stew,

So he flapped his wings and away he flew!
