Old Farmer Buck he bought him a duck, And he cut off her feet 'cause her walked in the muck. And when her wouldn't go for to root like a crow, He cut off her head for to make her do so. (Slower:) Why did he go and act thicky way? (A tempo:) 'Cause he were a fool, and a gurt big fool, 'Cause he were a fool, us all do say. Old Farmer Bourn he bought him a horn, For to rouse himself up in the chill of the morn. He always do know when its time for to blow 'Cause he wakes up as soon as the rooster do crow. (Slower:) Why did he go and act thicky way? (A tempo:) 'Cause he were a fool, and a gurt big fool, 'Cause he were a fool, us all do say. Old Farmer Bunn he bought him a gun, And he looked down the barrel to see how 'twere done The very first try he got it in the eye And he didn't have time to say "Goodbye!" (Slower:) Why did he go and act thicky way? (A tempo:) 'Cause he were a fool, and a gurt big fool, 'Cause he were a fool, us all do say.
