Verse 1
There was an old couple and they were poor -
Oo-oo, Oo-oo, Oo-oo
There was an old couple and they were poor,
They lived in a house without any door,
For a funny old couple were they,
For a funny old couple were they.
Verse 2
The old man he went out one day,
Oo-oo, Oo-oo, Oo-oo
The old man he went out one day,
The old woman she was afraid to stay,
For a funny old woman was she,
For a funny old woman was she.
Verse 3
Oh, I've been ill since you've been gone,
Oo-oo, Oo-oo, Oo-oo
Oh, I've been ill since you've been gone,
If you'd been in the yard you'd have heard me groan,
'I'm sorry for that,' says he,
'I'm sorry for that,' says he.
Verse 4
There's one thing I request of thee,
Oo-oo, Oo-oo, Oo-oo
There's one thing I request of thee,
Go fetch me apple from yonder tree,
'That's easily done,' said he,
'That's easily done,' said he.
Verse 5
The old man he went up the tree,
Oo-oo, Oo-oo, Oo-oo
The old man he went up the tree,
She pulled the ladder and down came he,
For a funny old woman was she,
For a funny old woman was she.
