As I went up the humber jumber,
Humber jumber jeenio,
There I met Sir Hoker Poker
Carrying away campeenio.

If I had had my tit-my-tat,
My tit-my-tat my teenio,
I'd never have let Sir Hoker Poker
Carry away campeenio.

As I went owre the Hill o' Hoos,
I met a bonny flock o' doos.
They were a' nick nackit,
They were a' brown backit,
Sic a bonny flock o' doos,
Commin' owre the Hill o' Hoos.
Swarm of Bees

As I went out, so I came in,
And out of the dead I saw the living spring;
Seven there were and six there be,
Tell me the riddle and then hang me.
A tit and its young from a nest between the jawbones of a gibbeted murderer

As I went out a Crow
In a low voice said " Oh,
I was looking for you.
How do you do?
I just came to tell you
To tell Lesley (will you?)
That her little Bluebird
Wanted me to bring word
That the north wind last night
That made the stars bright
And made ice on the trough
Almost made him cough
His tail feathers off.
He just had to fly!
But he sent her Good-by,
And said to be good,
And wear her red hood,
And look for skunk tracks
In the snow with an ax —
And do everything!

The rhythmic beating of his tail,
As though two hearts took turn about,
One thump inside, and then one out, —
Like all things earthly, it must fail.
Pacific gesture, made to span
The gap 'twixt animal and man,
Death stopt it. One last waggle; so
Went Kelso where the good dogs go.

As I went down to the old depot
To see the train roll by,
I thought I saw my dear old girl
Hang her head and cry.

The night was dark and stormy;
It sure did look like rain.
Not a friend in the whole wide world,
And no one knew my name.

No one knew my name, poor boy,
No one knew my name;
Not a friend in the whole wide world,
And no one knew my name.

" Go away, Mr. Judge, go away, Mr. Judge,
Just wait a little while.
I think I saw my dear old girl
Walk for miles and miles.

As I went down by Hastings Mill I lingered in my going
To smell the smell of piled-up deals and feel the salt wind blowing,
To hear the cables fret and creak and the ropes stir and sigh
(Shipmate, my shipmate!) as in days gone by.

As I went down by Hastings Mill I saw a ship there lying,
About her tawny yards the little clouds of sunset flying;
And half I took her for the ghost of one I used to know
(Shipmate, my shipmate!) many years ago.

As I went down by Hastings Mill I saw while I stood dreaming

As I was walking in the fields last Tuesday of all days, in a hollow under the quiet wood I heard two talking together. I drew nearer to them until I was at the very place, and who should be there conversing but my sweetheart with her mother. " My dear daughter, here you are by me with your hands free, your costume fair, handsomely set up — and I mean to marry you off.

As I was walking in a field of wheat,
I picked up something good to eat;
Neither fish, flesh, fowl, nor bone,
I kept it till it ran alone.

As I was lumb'ring down de street,
down de street,
down de street,
A handsome gal I chanc'd to meet;
Oh! she was fair to view.

  Buffalo gals, cant you come out tonight?
cant you come out tonight?
cant you come out tonight?
  Buffalo gals, cant you come out tonight?
  And dance by de light ob de moon.

I ax'd her would she hab some talk,
hab some talk,
hab some talk,
Her feet cover'd up de whole sidewalk
As she stood close by me.

I ax'd her would she hab a dance,
hab a dance,
