Jolly Old Hawk Songtext
von The Watersons

Jolly old hawk and his wings were grey
Now let us sing
Who′s going to win the girl but me?
Jolly old hawk and his wings were grey
Sent to my love on the twelfthmost day

Twelve old bears and they was a-roaring
Eleven old mares and they was a-brawling
Ten old cocks crow out in the morning
Nine old boars and they was a-quarrelling


Jolly old hawk and his wings were grey
Sent to my love on the twelfthmost day

Eight old bulls as they was a-blaring
Seven old calves as they ran before 'em
Six old cows as they was a-bawling
Five for fif and a fairy

Jolly old hawk and his wings were grey
Sent to my love on the twelfthmost day

A four-footed pig and three thistle-cock
And two little birds and a jolly old hawk


Jolly old hawk and his wings were grey
Now let us sing
Who′s going to win the girl but me?
