    on high,
    I took off my old breeches, and threw it a side,
    To keep the old petticoats warm and dry.
    Peter done this,
    And Peter done that.
    Peter ran off and tore his old hat.
    Here's the crow that flies,
    And will never loose a feather,
    Till my big shoe's
    And your small shoe's,
    Are under the bed together.
    The hills are high, the fields are green,
    The days are past that we have seen.
    But yet I hope that we will meet.
    Between the blanket and the sheet.
    Write to me often and write to me soon
    A letter from you is like a red rose in June.
    There is water in the churn.
    There is buttermilk in the well.
