Bossy-cow, bossy-cow, where do you lie?

In the green meadows, under the sky.


Billy-horse, billy-horse, where do you lie?

Out in the stable, with nobody nigh.


Birdies bright, birdies sweet, where do you lie?

Up in the treetops, ever so high.


Baby dear, baby love, where do you lie?

In my warm cradle, with mama close by.
