Verse 1
An old carrion crow was sitting on an oak,
Watching a tailor cutting out his cloak.
Refrain
Rogue go back!
The carrion crow cried 'Pork'.
Verse 2
The carrion crow he began for to rave,
And he called the tailor a lousy knave.
Refrain
Verse 3
Said the tailor, 'Go and fetch me my quiver and my bow,
That I may shoot the old carrion crow'.
Refrain
Verse 4
So the tailor fired and missed his mark,
And shot the old sow right through the heart.
Refrain
Verse 5
Then he said, 'Go, fetch me some treacle in a spoon,
For our old sow's in a d—n poor tune'.
Refrain
Verse 6
Now our old sow's dead I don't care a louse,
For we shall have black puddings, chitlings and souse.
Refrain
