A Farmer Went Trotting

A farmer went trotting upon his grey mare,
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
With his daughter behind, so rosy and fair,
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
A raven cried, Croak! and they went tumbling down,
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
The mare broke her knees and the farmer his crown,
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
The mischievous raven flew laughing away,
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
And vowed he would serve them the same the next day,
Lumpety, lumpety, lump!
