I went a'walking on a winter's
morning
City rain was falling, seagulls were calling
Cold, didn't heed it; gold, I didn't
need it
Came home with a baby called him
little Jamie.
Soon the moon was rising, it wouldn't
stop his crying
Pitter patter raining neighbours
complaining
Milk wouldn't fill him, silks I
couldn't give him
Just a song to jig him, just a little
rhythm.
Soon the night was ringing, mockingbirds
were singing
Looking glasses breaking, neighbours awakening
Bull carts are pulling, Billy goats
unwilling
Mockingbirds lamenting, diamonds are
glinting
Little dogs called Rover, horses
falling over
Never ever stopping, such a love of
shopping.
Whose beats are merry, sweeter than
the cherry
Sharper than the apple, always a
devil
Wings of the morning beating like a
starling
Wakes us all a 'yawning, little
drummer darling.
I went a'walking on a winter's
morning
Came home with the summer
My little drummer.
