[Jolly Farmer] Baffled Knight- As sung by Mrs Violet McCabe at North River, Conception Ba7, October 17, 1929.
It's of a jolly farmer
Who lived on yonder hill,
As he roved out one May morning,
To see what he could kill.
CHORUS: While he had his too ter rer num,
Right be a lits a tits I tired,
With me die, rere loodle a lit I die.
