[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
Carrion crow sittin' on an oak
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me
He called for a tailor to cut him a coat
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

Hie-fin-air-o
Gilp-in-the-gare-o
Hie-fin-air-o
Gilp-in-the-gay
Up jumped Johnny a-ringin' of his bell
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

Wife, oh wife, bring hither my bow
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me
That I may shoot this carrion crow
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

[JOHN LANGSTAFF, CHILDREN]
Hie-fin-air-o
Gilp-in-the-gare-o
Hie-fin-air-o
Gilp-in-the-gay
Up jumped Johnny a-ringin' of his bell
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
Tailor shot and he missed his mark

[JOHN LANGSTAFF, CHILDREN]
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And his shot his old sow bang through the heart

[JOHN LANGSTAFF, CHILDREN]
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

Hie-fin-air-o
Gilp-in-the-gare-o
Hie-fin-air-o
Gilp-in-the-gay
Up jumped Johnny a-ringin' of his bell
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
Wife, oh wife, bring brandy and a spoon

[JOHN LANGSTAFF, CHILDREN]
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
The old sow's fallen down in a swoon

[JOHN LANGSTAFF, CHILDREN]
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

Hie-fin-air-o
Gilp-in-the-gare-o
Hie-fin-air-o
Gilp-in-the-gay
Up jumped Johnny a-ringin' of his bell
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
The old sow died and the bells did toll

[JOHN LANGSTAFF, CHILDREN]
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And the little pig squeaked for the old sow's soul

[JOHN LANGSTAFF, CHILDREN]
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me

Hie-fin-air-o
Gilp-in-the-gare-o
Hie-fin-air-o
Gilp-in-the-gay
Up jumped Johnny a-ringin' of his bell
With a ling-dong-dilly-doll-kie-oh-me
