John Cook had a little grey mare
Her back stood up and her bones were bare
He, haw, hum.
John Cook was riding up Shuter's Bank
And there his nag did kick and prank.
He, haw, hum.
John Cook was riding up Shuter's Hill
His mare fell down and she made her Will
The saddle and bridle were laid on the shelf,
If you want any more you may make it yourself.
He, haw, hum.
