Cutty Wren Songtext
von Burd Ellen

Where are you going?
Says Melder to Molder
We may not tell you
Says Festal to Fos
We′re off to the wood
Says John the Red Nose
We're off to the wood
Says John the Red Nose
What will you do there?
Says Melder to Molder
We may not tell you
Says Festal to Fos
We′ll shoot the Cutty Wren
Says John the Red Nose
We'll shoot the Cutty Wren
Says John the Red Nose
How will we shoot him?
Says Melder to Molder
We may not tell you
Says Festal to Fos


With bows and with arrows
Says John the Red Nose
With bows and with arrows
Says John the Red Nose
How will we carve him?
Says Melder to Molder
We may not tell you
Says Festal to Fos
With forks and with knives
Says John the Red Nose
With forks and with knives
Says John the Red Nose
How will we eat him?
Says Melder to Molder
We may not tell you
Says Festal to Fos
With knives and with forks
Says John the Red Nose
With knives and with forks
Says John the Red Nose
Who'll eat the spare ribs?
Says Melder to Molder
We may not tell you
Says Festal to Fos
We′ll give it to the poor
Says John the Red Nose
We′ll give it to the poor
Says John the Red Nose
