A little old man he lived out West,
And when he plowed he plowed his best.
Come a ham bam berry winkeye doodle and jerryere
Wink and a clip and a clap and a clingle.
2. The little old man he came in from plow
And said, "Old woman, is dinner ready now?"
3. "There's meat and bread upon the shelf,
If you want any more you can get it yourself."
4. The little old man swore he'd run away,
He ran fourteen miles in fourteen days.
5. O sonny, you'd better take my advice
And marry a woman that has no lice.
