Verse 1
Once I was a farmer and followed my plough,
Don't you think I'm a charmer? Just look at me now!
All tattered in rags from bottom to top
Don't you think I'm a poor wandering rag shop?
Chorus
Needle cases. Won't you buy one?
You'll buy one I'm sure.
You'll buy a case of needles
Of Jack's that so poor.
Verse 2
Once I had a table lined with good food
Both eating and drinking all that was good.
But now I've no table, no things and all that,
I'm obliged to get a crust with the crown of my hat.
Chorus
Verse 3
Now since you will not buy one, I find I must leave
To leave you all here it does my heart grieve
It does my heart grieve, but if I should come back,
You'll buy a case of needles of poor Wandering Jack.
Chorus
