At Highdown fair for two farthings
My father bought me a little white mouse
At Highdown fair for two farthings
My father bought me a little white mouse
Along came a grey cat and ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
Along came a grey cat and ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
At Highdown fair for two farthings
My father bought me a little white mouse
Along came a black dog and jumped on the grey cat
Who ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
At Highdown fair for two farthings
My father bought me a little white mouse
Along came an old stick and beat off the black dog
Who jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
At Highdown fair for two farthings
My father bought me a little white mouse
Along came a fire and burnt up the old stick
Which beat off the black dog that jumped on the grey cat
Who ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
At Highdown fair for two farthings
My father bought me a little white mouse
Along came sweet water and put out the fire
Which burnt up the old stick which beat off the black dog
That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
At Highdown fair for two farthings
My father bought me a little white mouse
Along came a great ox and drunk all the water
Which put out the fire which burnt up the old stick
Which beat off the black dog that jumped on the grey cat
Who ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
At Highdown fair for two farthings
My father bought me a little white mouse
Along came a butcher and slaughtered the great ox
Which drunk all the water which put out the fire
Which burnt up the old stick which beat off the black dog
That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
And the angel of death came by for the butcher
Who slaughtered the great ox which drunk all the water
Which put out the fire which burnt up the old stick
Which beat off the black dog that jumped on the grey cat
Who ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
At Highdown fair for two farthings
My father bought me a little white mouse
And last came the lord, who threw down the angel
Who came for the butcher, who slaughtered the great ox
Which drunk all the water which put out the fire
Which burnt up the old stick which beat off the black dog
That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
And last came the lord, who threw down the angel
Who came for the butcher, who slaughtered the great ox
Which drunk all the water which put out the fire
Which burnt up the old stick which beat off the black dog
That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse
My father bought in the market square
At Highdown fair for two farthings
My father bought me a little white mouse
