Jacky, come give me your fiddle,If ever you mean to thrive. Nay, Ill not give my fiddleTo any man alive. If I should give my fiddle, Theyll think that Im gone mad, For many a joyful dayMy fiddle and I have had. 85 … There was a Piper had a Cow, And he had naught to give her,He pulld out his pipes and playd her a tune, And bade the cow consider. The cow considered very well,And gave the piper a penny, And bade him play the other tune, Corn rigs are bonny. 86
