Autumn to May lyrics

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

Of 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 downey 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
