Lords of the NurseryA
Wait in a rowB
Five on the high wallC
And four on the lowB
Big Kings and Little KingsD
Brown Bears and BlackE
All of them waitingF
Till John comes backE
-
Some think that John boyG
Is lost in the woodH
Some say he couldn t beA
Some say he couldH
Some think that John boyG
Hides on the hillI
Some say he won t come backE
Some say he willI
-
High was the sun whenJ
John went awayK
Here they ve been waitingF
All through the dayK
Big Bears and Little BearsL
White Kings and BlackE
All of them waitingF
Till John comes backE
-
Lords of the NurseryA
Looked down the hillI
Some saw the sheep foldM
Some say the millI
Some saw the roofsN
Of the little grey townO
And their shadows grew longP
As the sun slipt downO
-
Gold between the poplarsN
An old moon showsN
Silver up the star wayK
The full moon roseN
Silver down the star wayK
The old moon creptQ
And one by anotherR
The grey fields sleptQ
-
Lords of the NurseryA
Their still watch keepS
They hear from the sheep foldM
The rustle of sheepS
A young bird twittersN
And hides its headT
A little wind suddenlyA
Breathes and is deadT
-
Slowly and slowlyA
Dawns the new dayK
What s become of John boyG
No one can sayK
Some think that John boyG
Is lost on the hillI
Some say he won t come backE
Some say he willI
-
What's become of John boyG
Nothing at allC
He played with his skipping ropeU
He played with his ballC
He ran after butterfliesN
Blue ones and redT
He did a hundred happy thingsN
And then went to bedT
