My Son John
My son john was tall and slim
And he had a leg for every limb
But now he’s got no legs at all
For he ran a race with a cannonball
To me too ran da
For riddle da
Whack for the riddle
To me too run da
Were you deaf or were you blind
When you left your two fine legs behind?
Of was it sailing on the sea
when your two fine legs right down to your knee
To me too run da
For riddle da
Whack for the riddle
To me too run da
I was not deaf I was not blind
When I left my two fine legs behind
Nor was I sailing on the sea
When my two fine legs right down to my knee
To me too run da
For the riddle da
Whack for the riddle
To me too run da
I was tall and I was slim
And I had a leg for every limb
But now I’ve got no legs at all
They were both shot away by a cannonball
To me too run da
For the riddle da
Whack for the riddle
To me to run da
