As I
was
a -goin' to Banbury
Right for a letter to you
As I was a -goin' to Banbury
I spied a fine cotton ap ple tree
To me right for a letter to you
And one of them cottons
it happened to fall
Right for a letter to you
One of them cottons it happened to fall
I spied seven men all a
-playin' a ball
An d one of them men I saw was dead,
so I took out an axe
and I opened his head to me,
Right, fall at a tee, oh,
and out of his head there
sprang this tree,
Right, fall at a tee, oh,
and of his head there sprang this tree.
Seven young salmon are
learning to swim to me right
Follow the letter T -O
I'm one of them salmon as big as I
Right, follow the letter T -O
One of them salmon as big as I
Now don't you think I'm
telling a lie to me right
Follow the letter T -O
I'm one of them salmon as small as an L
Right, follow the letter T -O
One of them salmon as small as an L
If you want her name
All you can think of yourself
