MARTIN SAID TO HIS MAN

(trad. English)


Martin said to his man
	Fie, man, fie!
Martin said to his man
	Who's the fool now?
Martin said to his man
Fill thou the cup and I the can
	Thou hast well drunken, man
	Who's the fool now?

I saw the man in the moon
Clouting on St. Peter's shoon

I saw the hare chase the hound
Forty miles above the ground

I saw a goose wring a hog
Saw a snail bite a dog

I saw the cheese eat a rat
Saw a mouse chase a cat

I saw a flea heave a tree
Twenty miles out to sea

I saw a snail drive a nail
From Penzance up to Hale

I saw a maid milk a bull
Every pull a bucket full

I heard [...] sing a song
It was too bloody loud and too bloody long

I saw a spud fry in the oil
Before it was pulled from the soil

I saw a butterfly fluttery by
Saw a dragonfly drink a flagon dry

Martin said to his man
Fill thou the cup and I the can
