A Farmer Went Trotting

: RIDING SONGS for FATHER'S KNEE
: Boys And Girls Bookshelf

A farmer went trotting upon his gray mare;

Bumpety, bumpety, bump!

With his daughter behind him, so rosy and fair;

Lumpety, lumpety, lump!



A raven cried croak! and they all tumbled down;

Bumpety, bumpety, bump!

The mare broke her knees, and the farmer his crown;

Lumpety, lumpety, lump!



The mischievous raven flew laughing away;

Bumpety, bumpety, bump!

And vowed he would serve them the same the next day;

Lumpety, lumpety, lump!
