Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, hi ding ho,
That I may shoot yon carrion crow.

Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, hi ding ho.
The tailor he shot and missed his mark,
Sing heigh ho, the carrion crow,
Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, hi ding ho,
And shot his own sow right through the heart.
Sing heigh ho, the carrion crow,
Fol de riddle, lol de riddle, hi ding ho.
