They laid COCK ROBIN in his grave,
And after that they sung a stave,
And then they sent to fetch the sparrow
Who kill'd him with the bow and arrow.
Says JUSTICE HAWK

We'll try the rogue,
By Judge and Jury.
The JUDGE and JURY being met,
And plac'd in order down they set,
Or else they stood upon their feet,
Because I think they'd ne'er a seat.
Says the Judge to the Jury,
I'd have you take care,
When a bird's life's at stake,
Its a serious affair.
The CUCKOO came in
And began for to hollow
As he dragg'd the poor Sparrow,
In fast by the collar;
