    As I looked out through my front window
    I saw my curapa, carapa, corran
    In my peelata, pallata, peasant
    I sent my little dog Feather
    To hunt my curapa, carapa, corran
    Out of my peelata, pallata, peasant.
    Sneeze on Monday sneeze for danger
    Sneeze on Tuesday to kiss a stranger
    Sneeze on Wednesday sneeze for better
    Sneeze on Thursday sneeze for a letter
    Sneeze on Friday sneeze for sorrow
    Sneeze on Saturday gailty to morrow
    When the wind is from the east,
    It is not good for man or beast
    When the wind is from the west;
    It is at its very best
    When the wind is from the north
    The skillful fisher comes not forth
    When the wind is from the south
    It blows the bait out of the fishes' mouth
