A Cat Came Fiddling (Sheetmusic)


A cat came fiddling out of a barn
With a pair of bagpipes under her arm.
She could sing nothing but fiddle-dee-dee,
The mouse has married the bumblebee.
Pipe, cat, dance, mouse––
We’ll have a wedding at our good house.

A Man of Words and Not of Deeds

Posted by: PKelly on Mar 07, 2005
Songs and Lyrics 


Words Traditional
Music and arrangement by R. Durrant
From the Walking Oliver CD Through Tenderwood






And now you can buy and download the complete song as an MP3!



A man of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds,
And when the weeds begin to grow,
It’s like a garden full of snow.
And when the snow begins to fall,
It’s like a bird upon the wall,
And when the bird away does fly,
It’s like an eagle in the sky.
And when the sky begins to roar,
It’s like a lion at the door.
And when the door begins to crack,
It’s like a stick across your back,
And when your back begins to smart,
It’s like a penknife in your heart,
And when your heart begins to bleed,
You’re dead, you’re dead, you’re dead indeed.
