Autumn To May

Oh, once I had a little dog, his color, it was brown I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run His legs, they were 14 yards long, his ears so very wide Around the world in half a day, upon him, I could ride Sing Tarry-O Day Sing, autumn to May Oh, once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red He'd lean upon his silver cane, a top hat on his head He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do And all the kings and queens he'd met while sailing in a shoe Sing Tarry-O Day Sing, autumn to May Oh, once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather And every day, the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town To bring me back some golden rings, candy by the pound Sing Tarry-O Day Sing, autumn to May Oh, once I had a Downey swan, she was so very frail She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail The snail had changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie Sing Tarry-O Day Sing, Autumn to May
