[Steeleye Span - The Cutty Wren lyrics]
Traditional
Oh where are you going said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
We're off to the woods said John the Red Nose
We're off to the woods said John the Red Nose
And what will you do there
Said Milder to Moulder
We'll shoot the Cutty wren said
John the Red Nose
And how will you shoot us
Said Milder to Moulder
With bows and with arrows said
John the Red Nose
Oh that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Oh, what will you do then said Festel to Fose
Great guns and great cannon said
John the Red Nose
And how will you fetch her
Said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
On four strong men's shoulders said
John the Red Nose
Ah that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Oh, what will do then said Festel to Fose
Great carts and great wagons said
John the Red Nose
Oh how will you cut her
Up said Milder to Moulder
With knives and with forks said
John the Red Nose
Oh that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Great hatchets and cleavers said
John the Red Nose
Oh how will you boil her
Said Milder to Moulder
In pots and in kettles said John the Red Nose
O that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Great pans and large cauldrons said
John the Red Nose
Oh who'll get the spare ribs
Said Milder to Moulder
We'll give 'em all to the poor
Said John the Red Nose
Oh where are you going said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
We're off to the woods said John the Red Nose
We're off to the woods said John the Red Nose
And what will you do there
Said Milder to Moulder
We'll shoot the Cutty wren said
John the Red Nose
And how will you shoot us
Said Milder to Moulder
With bows and with arrows said
John the Red Nose
Oh that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Oh, what will you do then said Festel to Fose
