- I am a kid
and you are another.
I stole a springing cow.
And you stole a heefer.
I will be hung in Ballinrobe.
And you will be hung in Ballintubber.
The rope will break.
And you will be safe.
But I will be hung for ever.Kids walk on four feet.
And I walk on two.
The last kid I saw
was just like you.As I went upstairs (just like me)
As I went downstairs (just like me)
As I went into aroom (just like me)
As I saw a monkey. (just like you)- Collector
