I Went to the Market to Buy a Cock came to us from the wonderful Watersons – an early version of Old Mac Donald had a Farm?
lyrics
I Went to the Market to Buy a Cock
traditional, arranged by Pint and Dale
I went to the Market to buy a cock
And this cock did very well please me
Every time I fed my cock I fed him all under a tree
And the cock went cock-n cock-n cock a doodle do
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
I went to the Market to buy a hen
And this hen did very well please me
Every time I fed my hen I fed her all under a tree
And the hen went cackle
And the cock went cock-n cock-n cock a doodle do
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
I went to the Market to buy a duck
And this duck did very well please me
Every time I fed my duck I fed her all under a tree
And the duck went quack, And the hen went cackle
And the cock went cock-n cock-n cock a doodle do
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
I went to the Market to buy a goose
And this goose did very well please me
Every time I fed my goose I fed her all under a tree
And the goose went gaggle
And the duck went quack, And the hen went cackle
And the cock went cock-n cock-n cock a doodle do
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
I went to the Market to buy a pig
And this pig did very well please me
Every time I fed my pig I fed her all under a tree
And the pig went 'grunt'
And the goose went gaggle
And the duck went quack, And the hen went cackle
And the cock went cock-n cock-n cock a doodle do
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
I went to the Market to buy a sheep
And this sheep did very well please me
Every time I fed my sheep I fed her all under a tree
And the sheep went 'baaa'
And the pig went 'grunt'
And the goose went gaggle
And the duck went quack, And the hen went cackle
And the cock went cock-n cock-n cock a doodle do
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
I went to the Market to buy a cow
And this cow did very well please me
Every time I fed my cow I fed her all under a tree
And the cow went 'mooo'
And the sheep went 'baaa'
And the pig went 'grunt'
And the goose went gaggle
And the duck went quack, And the hen went cackle
And the cock went cock-n cock-n cock a doodle do
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
I went to the Market to buy a wife
And this wife did very well please me
Every time I fed my wife I fed her all under a tree
And me wife went 'dammit'
And the cow went 'mooo'
And the sheep went 'baaa'
And the pig went 'grunt'
And the goose went gaggle
And the duck went quack
And the hen went cackle
And the cock went cock-n cock-n cock-n cock a doodle do
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
