- (continued from previous page)'Twas like a ship without a belt,
When the ship began to sail,
'Twas like a bird without a tail,
When the bird began to fly,
'Twas like a needle in the sky,
When the sky began to fall,
The Lord have mercy on us all.John Barrett. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.

- Christmas is coming and the geese are getting fat,
Please put a penny in the old man's hat,
If you haven't a penny a halfpenny will do
God bless you and your family too.Margaret Kenny
