When I Was A Little Girl, About Seven Years Old, I Hadn't Got A Petticoat, To Cover Me From The Cold; So I Went Into Darlington, That Pretty Little Town, And There I Bought A Petticoat, A Cloak, And A Gown. I Went Into The Woods And Built Me A Kirk, And All The Birds Of The Air, They Helped Me To Work; The Hawk With His Long Claws Pulled Down The Stone, The Dove, With Her Rough Bill, Brought Me Them Home; The Parrot Was The Clergyman, The Peacock Was The Clerk, The Bullfinch Play'D The Organ, And We Made Merry Work.
