So I went into Darlington, that pretty little town,

And there I bought a petticoat, a cloak, and a gown.

I went into the woods and built me a kirk,

And all the birds of the air, they helped me to work;

The hawk with his long claws pulled down the stone,

The dove, with her rough bill, brought me them home;

The parrot was the clergyman, the peacock was the clerk,

The bullfinch play'd the organ, and we made merry work.
