A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow, ( tris) Determined to shoot this little cock sparrow, ( tris) A naughty, & c. Determined, & c. This little cock sparrow shall make me a stew, ( tris) And his giblets shall make me a little pie too, ( tris) Oh, no! said ye sparrow I won't make a stew, So he flapped his wings and away he flew!
