THE TAILOR AND THE MOUSE
Click on the banjo button to hear the music as you sing.
There was a tailor had a mouse
Hi diddle um come feed-a
They lived together in a little house.
Hi diddle um come feed-a
CHORUS:Hi diddle um, come tintrum tantrum
Through the town of Ramsey,
Hi diddle um, come over the lea
Hi diddle um come feed-a
The tailor had a tall silk hat.
The mouse he ate it, fancy that.
The tailor bought a big black cat
The mouse he roared out,
"Scat cat scat!"
The tailor went to bed to rest.
His pillow was the mouse's nest.
The tailor chased the mouse away.
The mouse came back the very next day.
The tailor chased him over the lea.
The last of that mouse he never did see.
