| Who caught his blood? | With my little dish, |
| I, said the Fish, | I caught his blood. |
| Who'll make his shroud? | With my thread and needle, |
| I, said the Beetle, | I'll make his shroud. |
| Who'll dig his grave? | With my spade and trowel, |
| I, said the Owl, | I'll dig his grave. |
| Who'll bear the pall? | Both the Cock and the Hen, |
| We, said the Wren, | We'll bear the pall. |
| Who'll carry him to the grave? | If it's not in the night, |
| I, said the Kite, | I'll carry him to the grave. |
