The Swapping Song - Ed McCurdy

Written by：Traditional

When I was a little boy

I lived by myself

All the bread and cheese I had

I kept upon the shelf

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

Oh the rats and the mice

They led me such a life

That I had to go to London

To get me a wife

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

The roads were so rocky

And the lanes were so narrow

That I had to bring her home

In an old wheelbarrow

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

We'll barrow broke my wife gonna fall

Down them wheelbarrow wife flow

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

Swapped my wheelbarrow

And I got me a horse

Then I rode

From 'cross to 'cross

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

I swapped my horse

And I got me a mew

Then I rode from fare to fare

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

I swapped my meor and got mew mew

And then I rode like a dog don food

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

I swapped my meul

And I got me a cow

In that trade

I just lost half

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

I swapped my cow

And I got me a calf

In a that trade

A got just to half

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

Swapped my calf

And I got me a sig

Then I rode myself to sleep

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

I swapped my sig

And I got me a hand

Oh wanna pretty gold

I had then

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

I swapped my hand

And I got me a rap

Waddle in the has tracker

Way from the cap

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

I swapped my rap

Got me a mouse

Think thought farren

To lock my house

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home

I swapped my mouse

Got me a moul

Dog don fring much

Frey deno home

To my wing wong waddle

Come a Jacks to settle home

My John Paul faddle

To my long way home
