Tattle O'Day (Unreleased|Self Portrait) - Bob Dylan

I buyed me a little dog

Color it was brown

I learned him how to whistle

Sing and dance and run

His legs they were 14 yards long

His ears they were quite broad

Around the world in a half a day

And on him I could ride

Sing Tattle O Day

I buyed me a little bull

About four inches high

Everybody feared him

That ever heard him cry

When he begins to bellow

It made such a melodious sound

And all the walls in London town

Came tumbling to the ground

Sing Tattle O Day

I buyed me a flock of sheep

I thought they were all weathers

Sometimes they yield at wolves

Sometimes they yield at feathers

I think mine are the very best sheep

For yielding increase

For every full change of the moon

They bring both lambs and geese

Sing Tattle O Day

I buyed me a little box

About four acres square

I filled it full of guineas

And silver so fair

Oh now I'm bound for turkey

I travel like an ox

And in my big chest pocket

I carry my little box

Sing Tattle O Day

I buyed me a little hen

All speckled gay and fair

I sat her on an oyster shell

She hatched me out a hare

The hare it sprang a handsome horse

Blew fifteen hens high

And him that tells a bigger tale

Would have to tell a lie

Sing Tattle O Day
