    With a gay lady.
    Gold and silver will be stolen away
    Dance over my Lady Lee
    Gold and silver will be stolen away
    With a gay lady.

    Where are the busy little men
    To keep at work to-day
    And where are the merry, merry men,
    To help us in our play
    Upon each hand a little band
    For work and play is ready
    The first to come is master thumb
    Then pointer strong and steady
    The tall man high
    And just close by
    The feeble man doth linger
    And last of all so fair and small
    The baby, little finger.
