Lyrics

There Was A Little Man

There was a little man
Who wooed a little maid;
And he said; "Little maid, will you wed, wed, wed?

I have little more to say,
So will you ay or nay?
For the least said is soonest men-ded, ded, ded".

Then the little maid replied:
"Should I be your little bride,
Pray what must we have for to eat, eat, eat?

Will the flame that you're so rich in
Light a fire in the kitchen?
Or the little God of Love turn the spit, spit, spit?'.

This version has the man hunting a duck

There was a little man, and he had a little gun,
And his bullets were made of lead, lead, lead;
He went to the brook, and saw a little duck,
And shot it right through the head, head, head.

He carried it home to his old wife Joan,
And bade her a fire to make, make, make.
To roast the little duck he had shot in the brook,
And he'd go and fetch the drake, drake, drake.

The drake was a-swimming with his curly tail;
The little man made it his mark, mark, mark.
He let off his gun, but he fired too soon,
And the drake flew away with quack, quack, quack.
