A little c.o.c.k sparrow sat on a tree, Looking as happy as happy could be, Till a boy came by with his bow and arrow, Says he, I will shoot the little c.o.c.k sparrow.
His body will make me a nice little stew, And his giblets will make me a little pie, too.
Says the little c.o.c.k sparrow, I"ll be shot if I stay, So he clapped his wings, and flew away.
