Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief,

Taffy came to my house and stole a leg of beef;

I went to Taffy's house, Taffy wasn't home;

Taffy came to my house and stole a marrow bone.

I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed;

I took the marrow-bone and beat Taffy's head.

Daffy-down-dilly is new come to town,
