Little Brown Dog

I buyed me a little dog its color it was brown Taught him to whistle to sing and dance and run His legs they were fourteen yards long his ears they were broad Round the world in half a day on him I could ride Sing terry O' day I buyed me a little bull he was four inches high Everybody feared him who ever heard him cry When he began to bellow he made such melodious sound That all the walls in London came tumblin' to the ground Sing terry O day Sing taddle day I buyed me a flock of sheep thought they were all wethers Sometimes they yielded wool sometimes yielded feathers I know mine are the very best sheep for yield and increase Every full and turn of the moon they bring forth lambs and geese Sing terry O day Sing taddle day I buyed me a little glass colored it was green In it was all the wonders man has ever seen I put in my pocket tied up with a cloth Cried and cried the day I found that it had been lost Sing terry O day Sing taddle day I buyed me a little dog its color it was brown Taught him to whistle to sing and dance and run His legs they were fourteen yards long his ears they were broad Round the world in half a day on him I could ride Sing terry O day Sing terry O day --- Little Brown Dog - Judy Collins
