I sold me a horse
And bought me a cow
I tried to make bargains
But didn't know how.
I sold
me a cow
And bought me a calf,
I tried to make bargains
But always lost half.
I sold
me a calf
And bought me a swine,
He couldn't chew corn,
For his teeth were to
fine.
I sold
me a swine
And bought me a hen,
She laid eggs,
But the devil knew when.
I sold
me a hen
And bought me a cock,
He never crowed
Till 9 o'clock.
I sold
me a cock
And bought me a rat,
His tail caught a-fire
And burned my old house.

Innocent.
I was standing
on the corner
Not doing any harm,
Along came a policeman
And took me by the arm.
He took me round the corner
And rang a little bell,
Along came a police car
And took me to a cell.
I woke in the
morning
And looked up on the wall,
The cooties and the bedbugs
Were having a game of ball.
The score was six to nothing,
The bedbugs were ahead.
The cooties hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed.
When the
farmer comes to town,
With his wagon broken down,
O, the farmer is the man who
feeds them all!
If you'll look and see
I think you will agree
That the farmer is the man who
feeds them all.
The doctor
hangs around
While the blacksmith heats his
iron,
O, the farmer is the man who
feeds them all!
The preacher and the cook
Go strolling by the brook,
And the farmer is the man
who feeds them all.
The farmer is
the man,
The farmer is the man,
Buys on credit till the fall.
"Tho' his family comes to
town,
With a wagon broken down,
O. the farmer is the man who
feeds them all!
