Peter Paul & Mary - Autumn To May lyrics

Oh once I had a little dog, his color it was brown<br>I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run<br>His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide<br>Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride.<br><br>Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.<br><br>Oh once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red<br>He'd lean upon his silver cane, a top hat on his head<br>He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do,<br>Of all the kings and queens he'd met while sailing in a shoe.<br><br>Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.<br><br>Oh once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather<br>I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather<br>And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town<br>To bring me back some golden rings, candy by the pound.<br><br>Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.<br><br>Oh once I had a downey swan, she was so very frail<br>She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail<br>The snail had changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly<br>And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie.<br><br>Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.
