Tom, he was a piper's son,
He learn'd to play when he was
young;
The only tune that he could play
Was Over the hills and far away.
Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Stole a pig, and away he run;
The pig was eat Tom was beat,
And Tom ran roaring down
the street.
Here is a long tailed pig, or a
short tailed pig, all sorts of
pigs for sale:
A boar pig, or a sow pig, or a
pig with a curly tail.
All the little girls and boys
Were so delighted with his
noise,
They'd dance and sing, while he
did play
Over the hills and far away.
Tom now learn'd another tune,
"The cow that jumped o'er the
moon."
