My Little Drummer Songtext
von Nancy Kerr

I went a′walking on a winter's morning
City rain was falling
Seagulls were calling
Cold, didn′t heed it
Gold, I didn't need it
Came home with a baby
Called him little Jamie

Soon the moon was rising
Wouldn't stop his crying
Pitter patter raining
Neighbors complaining
Milk wouldn′t fill him
Silks I couldn′t give him
Just a song to jig him
Just a little rhythm


Soon the night was ringing
Mockingbirds were singing
Looking glasses breaking
Neighbors Awakening
Bull carts are pulling Billy goats unwilling
Mockingbirds lamenting
Diamonds are glinting
Little dogs called Rover
Horses falling over
Never ever stopping
Such a love of shopping

Whose beats are merry
Sweeter than the Cherry
Sharper than the Apple
Always a devil
Wings of the morning beating like a starling
Wakes us all a'yawning
Little drummer darling

I went a′walking on a winter's morning
Came home with the summer
My little drummer
