FLY UP MY COCK

Fly up my cock. You're my well-feathered cock
But don't crow 'til the break of day
And your rosy red comb, it shall be of the beaten gold
And your neck of the silvery grey

My cock he flew up and my cock he flew down
But he crowed one hour too soon
And this young man arose and he hurried on his clothes
But it was only the light of the moon

"Oh when shall ye return? My Jimmy" she cried
And wed with a gay golden ring?
"Seven moons," said he shining over the lea,
" And the sky to yield up no more rain"

"For now I have seen of the contrary way
And I am forced to live single or be bound
