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 fourteen 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 downy 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
