Burl Ives - Robin, he married



Robin he married a wife from the west

Moppity, moppity mo no

She got up before she was dressed

With a high jig jiggety top and petticoat

 Robin, a thrush cries mo no no.



(similarly:)

When she got up, she got up in a haste

Went to the cupboard before she was laced.



Went to the cupboard and opened the door

Cheese rolled out, fell out on the floor.



Cheese fell out upon the floor

Out of the cupboard and out of the door.



It ran till it came to Wakefield Cross

She followed after upon a white horse.



This song was made for gentlemen

If you want any more you can sing it again.



There's bread and cheese upon the shelf

If you want any more you can sing it yourself.
