Traditional

• LP Nursery Rhymes, Games and Folksongs

Well I had me a bird, and the bird pleased me 
And I fed my bird under yonder tree
And the bird went
<Whistles>

Well I had me a cat and the cat pleased me
And I fed my cat under yonder tree
And the cat went
<Meows>
And the bird went
<Whistles>

Well I had me a dog and the dog pleased me
And I fed my dog under yonder tree
And the dog went 
<Barks>
And the cat went
<Meows>
And the bird went
<Whistles>

Well I had me a duck and the duck pleased me
And I fed my duck under yonder tree
And the duck went 
<Quack, quack>
And the dog went 
<Barks>
And the cat went
<Meows>
And the bird went
<Whistles>

Well I had me a rooster and the rooster pleased me
And I fed that rooster under yonder tree
And the rooster went 
<Crows>
And the duck went 
<Quack, quack>
And the dog went 
<Barks>
The cat went
<Meows>
And the bird went
<Whistles>

Well I had me a pig and the pig pleased me
And I fed my pig under yonder tree
And the pig went 
<Oink, oink>
And the rooster went 
<Crows>
And the duck went 
<Quack, quack>
The dog went 
<Barks>
The cat went
<Meows>
And the bird went
<Whistles>

Well I had me a cow and the cow pleased me
And I fed my cow under yonder tree
And the cow went 
<Moooooooo>
The pig went 
<Oinkk>
And the rooster went 
<Crows>
The duck went 
<Quack, quack>
The dog went 
<Barks>
The cat went
<Meows>
And the bird went
<Whistles>

Of note:

Nice opening to a solid Side 2 of this LP, with Cisco snorting and mooing and quacking with the best of 'em.
