THERE WAS A MAN
traditional
THERE WAS A MAN OF DOUBLE DEED
WHO SOWED A GARDEN FULL OF SEED
WHEN THE SEED BEGAN TO GROW
TWAS LIKE A GARDEN FULL OF SNOW
WHEN THE SNOW BEGAN TO FALL
LIKE THE BIRDS IT WAS UPON THE WALL
WHEN THE BIRDS BEGAN TO FLY
TWAS LIKE A SHIPWRECK IN THE SKY
WHEN THE SHIP BEGAN TO CRACK
TWAS LIKE A STICK ACROSS MY BACK
WHEN MY BACK BEGAN TO SMART
TWAS LIKE A PENKNIFE IN MY HEART
WHEN MY HEART BEGAN TO BLEED
THEN I WAS DEAD AND DEAD INDEED
THE WREN
traditional
BE ALL HERE IN LOVE AND PEACE WE HAVE POWDER AND SHOT
BE ALL HERE IN THIS PLACE TO CONQUER THE LOT
OF THEE WE WILL SING WE HAVE CANNON AND BALL
IN SERVING OUR KING TO CONQUER THEM ALL
OUR KING IS WELL DRESSED OH, CHRISTMAS IS PAST
IN THE SILKS OF THE BEST TWELFTH TIDE IS THE LAST
IN RIBBONS SO RARE AND WE BIDE YOU ADEU
NO KING CAN COMPARE GREAT JOY TO THE NEW
WE HAVE TRAVELLED MANY MILES
OVER HEDGES AND STILES
IN SEARCH OF OUR KING
UNTO YOU WE BRING
