As I went by my little pig-sty,

HNR 1088

a
As I went by my little pig-sty,
I saw a child's petticoat hanging to dry,
Hanging to dry, hanging to dry,
I saw a child's petticoat hanging to dry.

b
I took off my jacket and hung it close by,
To bear that petticoat company,
Company, company,
To bear that petticoat company.

c
The wind blew high and down they fell,
Jacket and petticoat into the well,
Into the well, into the well,
Jacket and petticoat into the well.

d
Oh! says the jacket we shall be drowned;
No, says the petticoat, we shall be found,
We shall be found, we shall be found,
No, says the petticoat, we shall be found.

e
A miller passed by, and they gave a loud shout,
He put in his hand and he pulled them both out,
Pulled them both out, pulled them both out,
He put in his hand and he pulled them both out.
