Any of you children who knows ‘Old Macdonald had a Farm,’ this was a much older version of that. This is the way it was:
I had a cow, a cow, a cow gave milk to me
I fed my little cow under an ivy tree
My cow moo-ee, moo-ee, I loved her good and true
Everyone loves his farm, I love my own one, too.
I had a goat, a goat, a goat gave milk to me
I fed my little goat under an ivy tree
My goat megully, megully,
My cow moo-ee, moo-ee, I loved them good and true
Everyone loves his farm, I love my own one, too.
I had a hen, a hen, a hen laid eggs for me
I fed my little hen under an ivy tree
My hen tucady, tucady, my goat megully, megully,
My cow moo-ee, moo-ee, I loved them good and true
Everyone loves his farm, I love my own one, too.
I had a duck, a duck, a duck laid eggs for me
I fed my little duck under an ivy tree
My duck quack-ee, quack-ee, my hen tucady, tucady
My goat megully, megully,
My cow moo-ee, moo-ee, I loved them good and true
Everyone loves his farm, I love my own one, too.
I had a sheep, a sheep, a sheep gave wool to me
I fed my little sheep under an ivy tree
My sheep baa-ee, baa-ee, my duck quack-ee, quack-ee
My hen tucady, tucady, my goat megully, megully,
My cow moo-ee, moo-ee, I love them good and true
Everyone loves his farm, I love my own one, too.
