   Riddle me riddle me and me row,
   Me father gave me some seeds to grow
   When the seeds began to grow,
   It was like a garden full of Snow,
   When the snow began to fall
   It was like a bird upon the wall
   When the bird began to fly
   It was like a needle int he sky
   When the sky began to rattle
   It was like a soldier in the field of battle
