Lyrics

I buyed me a little dog, color it was brown
 I learned him how to whistle, sing and dance and run
 His legs they were 14 yards long, his ears they were quite broad
 Around the world in a half a day and on him I could ride
 Sing tattle o'day
 I buyed me a little bull, about four inches high
 Everybody feared him, that ever heard him cry
 When he begins to bellow, it made such melodious sound
 'Til all the walls in London town came tumbling to the ground
 Sing tattle o'day
 I buyed me a flock of sheep, I thought they were all wethers
 Sometimes they yielded wool, sometimes they yielded feathers
 I think mine are the very best sheep, for yielding me increase
 For every full and change of the moon, they bring both lambs and geese
 Sing tattle o'day
 I buyed me a little box, about four acres square
 I filled it full of guineas, and silver so fair
 Oh, now I'm bound for Turkey, I'll travel like an ox
 And in my breeches pocket, I'll carry my little box
 Sing tattle o'day
 I buyed me a little hen, all speckled gay and fair
 I sat her on an oyster shell, she hatched me out a hare
 The hare it sprang a handsome horse, full fifteen hands high
 And him that tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie
 Sing tattle o'day
