A Farmer Went Trotting Upon His Gray Mare

A farmer went trotting Upon his grey mare, Bumpety, bumpety, bump! With his daughter behind him So rosy and fair, Lumpety, lumpety, lump! A raven cried “Croak“ And they all tumbled DOWN, (slip child down between knees) Bumpety, bumpety, bump! The mare broke her knees, And the farmer his crown, Lumpety, lumpety, lump! The mischievous raven Flew laughing away Bumpety, bumpety, bump! And he vowed he would serve them The same the next day, Lumpety, lumpety, lump!
