lyrics

Martin said to his man fie man fie,
Martin said to his man who’s the fool now,
Martin said to his man fill thou the cup and I the can,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.

I saw the sheep shear the corn fie man fie,
I saw the sheep shear the corn who’s the fool now,
I saw the sheep shear the corn saw the bird blow the horn,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.
I saw the man in the moon fie man fie,
I saw the man in the moon who’s the fool now,
I saw the man in the moon clouting out St Peter’s sh’oon,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.

I saw the hare chase the hound fie man fie,
I saw the hare chase the hound who’s the fool now,
I saw the hare chase the hound twenty mile above the ground,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.

I saw the goose ring the hog fie man fie,
I saw the goose ring the hog who’s the fool now,
I saw the goose ring the hog saw the snail bite the dog,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.

Martin said to his man fie man fie,
Martin said to his man who’s the fool now,
Martin said to his man fill thou the cup and I the can,
Thou has well drunken man, who’s the fool now.

Thou has well drunken man who’s the fool now,
Thou has well drunken man who’s the fool now
