The Tailor And The Mouse

Burl Ives · Favorites For Children [2008]

Some people have dogs for pets

And some people have cats but



There was a tailor, had a mouse

Hi diddle um come feed a

They lived together in one house

Hi diddle um come feed a



Hi diddle um, come tintrum tantrum

Through the town of Ramsey

Hi diddle um, come over the lea

Hi diddle um come feed a



The tailor had a tall silk hat

Hi diddle um come feed a

The mouse he ate it, fancy that

Hi diddle um come feed a



Hi diddle um, come tintrum tantrum

Through the town of Ramsey

Hi diddle um, come over the lea

Hi diddle um come feed a



The tailor, he chased him over the lea

Hi diddle um come feed a

The last of that mouse he never did see

Hi diddle um come feed a



Hi diddle um, come tintrum tantrum

Through the town of Ramsey

Hi diddle um, come over the lea

Hi diddle um come feed a
