Martin Said To His Man

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 hast 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, sliding down St Peter's shoen
Thou hast well drunken man
Who's the fool now?
I saw the mouse chase the cat...
... and saw the cheese eat the rat
I saw the maid milk the bull...
...every stroke a bucketful
I saw the hare chase the hounds...
...forty miles above the ground
I saw the flea heave a tree...
...forty leagues across the sea
I saw the sheep shearing corn, Fie, man fie
I saw the sheep shearing corn, Who's the fool now
I saw the sheep shearing corn and saw the cuckold blow his horn
Thou hast well drunken man
Who's the fool now?
