Tom, he was a piper's son,
He learn'd to play when he was
young;
The only tune that he could play
Was Over the hills and far away.
Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Stole a pig, and away he run;
0004m
The pig was eat Tom was beat,
And Tom ran roaring down
the street.
Here is a long tailed pig, or a
short tailed pig, all sorts of
pigs for sale:
A boar pig, or a sow pig, or a
pig with a curly tail.
0006m
All the little girls and boys
Were so delighted with his
noise,
They'd dance and sing, while he
did play
Over the hills and far away.
Tom now learn'd another tune,
"The cow that jumped o'er the
moon."
0006m
It made the horned cattle prance,
And caused the sleepy pigs to
dance.
Tom saw a donkey pass along,
Then played a little merry song;
The donkey danc'd about the
road,
And soon was lighten'd of his
load.
0007m
Tom, next met a pretty lass,
Tending cows upon the grass
He tuned his pipe, which caused
much fun.
The cow, she danced, the maid
she run.
Dame Trot went out to sell her
eggs.
He used his pipe, and she her legs
0008m
Her eggs were very sadly broke,
While wicked Tom enjoy'd
the joke.
Tom met the parson on his way,
Took out his pipe, began to
play,
A merry tune, that led his grace
Into a very dirty place.
0009m
The mayor then said, he would
not fail
To send poor Tommy off to jail
Tom took his pipe, began to play,
And all the court soon danc'd
away.
'Twas quite a treat to see the rout
How clerks and judges hop-
ped about.
0010m
Policeman Grab, who held him
fast,
Began to dance about at last;
Whilst Tom delighted at the
fun,
Slipped out of court, and off
did run.
0012m
Finis.
