Little Boy Blue lost his way in a wood	A
Sing apples and cherries roses and honey	B
He said I would not go back if I could	A
It's all so jolly and funny	B
	-
He sang This wood is all my own	C
Apples and cherries roses and honey	B
Here I will sit a king on my throne	C
All so jolly and funny	B
	-
A little snake crept out of a tree	B
Apples and cherries roses and honey	B
Lie down at my feet little snake said he	B
All so jolly and funny	B
	-
A little bird sang in the tree overhead	D
Apples and cherries roses and honey	B
Come and sing your song on my finger he said	D
All so jolly and funny	B
	-
Up coiled the snake the bird came down	E
And sang him the song of Birdie Brown	E
	-
But little Boy Blue found it tiresome to sit	F
Though it was on a throne he would walk a bit	F
	-
He took up his horn and he blew a blast	G
Snake you go first and birdie come last	G
	-
Waves of green snake o'er the yellow leaves went	H
The snake led the way and he knew what he meant	H
	-
But by Boy Blue's head with flutter and dart	I
Flew Birdie Brown her song in her heart	I
	-
Boy Blue came where apples grew fair and sweet	J
Tree drop me an apple down at my feet	J
	-
He came where cherries hung plump and red	D
Come to my mouth sweet kisses he said	D
	-
And the boughs bow down and the apples they dapple	K
The grass too many for him to grapple	K
	-
And the cheeriest cherries with never a miss	L
Fall to his mouth each a full grown kiss	L
	-
He met a little brook singing a song	M
Little brook he said you are going wrong	M
	-
You must follow me follow me follow I say	N
Do as I tell you and come this way	N
	-
And the song singing sing songing forest brook	O
Leapt from its bed and after him took	O
	-
And the dead leaves rustled yellow and wan	P
As over their beds the water ran	Q
	-
He called every bird that sat on a bough	R
He called every creature with poop and prow	R
	-
I mean with two ends that is nose and tail	K
With legs or without they followed full sail	K
	-
Squirrels that carried their tails like a sack	S
Each his own on his little brown humpy back	S
	-
Snails that drew their own caravans	T
Poking out their own eyes on the point of a lance	U
	-
And houseless slugs white black and red	D
Snails too lazy to build a shed	D
	-
And butterflies flutterbys weasels and larks	V
And owls and shrew mice and harkydarks	V
	-
Cockchafers henchafers cockioli birds	V
Cockroaches henroaches cuckoos in herds	V
	-
The dappled fawns fawning the fallow deer following	W
The swallows and flies flying and swallowing	W
	-
All went flitting and sailing and flowing	W
After the merry boy running and blowing	W
	-
The spider forgot and followed him spinning	W
And lost all his thread from end to beginning	W
	-
The gay wasp forgot his rings and his waist	X
He never had made such undignified haste	X
	-
The dragon flies melted to mist with their hurrying	W
The mole forsook his harrowing and burrowing	W
	-
The bees went buzzing not busy but beesy	V
And the midges in columns upright and easy	V
	-
But Little Boy Blue was not content	H
Calling for followers still as he went	H
	-
Blowing his horn and beating his drum	Y
And crying aloud Come all of you come	Y
	-
He said to the shadows Come after me	V
And the shadows began to flicker and flee	V
	-
And away through the wood went flattering and fluttering	W
Shaking and quivering quavering and muttering	W
	-
He said to the wind Come follow come follow	K
With whistle and pipe with rustle and hollo	K
	-
And the wind wound round at his desire	Z
As if Boy had been the gold cock on the spire	A2
	-
And the cock itself flew down from the church	B2
And left the farmers all in the lurch	B2
	-
Everything everything all and sum	Y
They run and they fly they creep and they come	Y
	-
The very trees they tugged at their roots	V
Only their feet were too fast in their boots	V
	-
After him leaning and straining and bending	W
As on through their boles the army kept wending	W
	-
Till out of the wood Boy burst on a lea	V
Shouting and calling Come after me	V
	-
And then they rose with a leafy hiss	V
And stood as if nothing had been amiss	V
	-
Little Boy Blue sat down on a stone	C
And the creatures came round him every one	C2
	-
He said to the clouds I want you there	D2
And down they sank through the thin blue air	D2
	-
He said to the sunset far in the west	E2
Come here I want you 'tis my behest	E2
	-
And the sunset came and stood up on the wold	F2
And burned and glowed in purple and gold	F2
	-
Then Little Boy Blue began to ponder	Z
What's to be done with them all I wonder	Z
	-
He thought a while then he said quite low	K
What to do with you all I am sure I don't know	K
	-
The clouds clodded down till dismal it grew	G2
The snake sneaked close round Birdie Brown flew	G2
	-
The brook like a cobra rose on its tail	K
And the wind sank down with a what will you wail	K
	-
And all the creatures sat and stared	H2
The mole opened the eyes that he hadn't and glared	H2
	-
And for rats and bats and the world and his wife	I2
Little Boy Blue was afraid of his life	I2
	-
Then Birdie Brown began to sing	W
And what he sang was the very thing	W
	-
Little Boy Blue you have brought us all hither	Z
Pray are we to sit and grow old together	Z
	-
Go away go away said Little Boy Blue	G2
I'm sure I don't want you get away do	G2
	-
No no no no no yes and no no	K
Sang Birdie Brown it mustn't be so	K
	-
If we've come for no good we can't go away	N
Give us reason for going or here we stay	N
	-
They covered the earth they darkened the air	D2
They hovered they sat with a countless stare	D2
	-
If I do not give them something to do	G2
They will stare me up said Little Boy Blue	G2
	-
Oh dear oh dear he began to cry	J2
They're an awful crew and I feel so shy	J2
	-
All of a sudden he thought of a thing	W
And up he stood and spoke like a king	W
	-
You're the plague of my life have done with your bother	Z
Off with you all take me back to my mother	Z
	-
The sunset went back to the gates of the west	E2
Follow me sang Birdie I know the way best	E2
	-
I am going the same way as fast as I can	Q
Said the brook as it sank and turned and ran	Q
	-
To the wood fled the shadows like scared black ghosts	V
If we stay we shall all be missed from our posts	V
	-
Said the wind with a voice that had changed its cheer	K2
I was just going there when you brought me here	L2
	-
That's where I live said the sack backed squirrel	K
And he turned his sack with a swing and a swirl	K
	-
Said the gold weather cock I'm the churchwarden	Q
Said the mole I live in the parson's garden	Q
	-
Said they all If that's where you want us to steer for	M2
What on earth or in air did you bring us here for	M2
	-
You are none the worse said Boy If you won't	N2
Do as I tell you why then don't	N2
	-
I'll leave you behind and go home without you	G2
And it's time I did I begin to doubt you	G2
	-
He jumped to his feet The snake rose on his tail	K
And hissed three times a hiss full of bale	K
	-
And shot out his tongue at Boy Blue to scare him	O2
And stared at him out of his courage to stare him	O2
	-
You ugly snake Little Boy Blue said	D
Get out of my way or I'll break your head	D
	-
The snake would not move but glared at him glum	Y
Boy Blue hit him hard with the stick of his drum	Y
	-
The snake fell down as if he was dead	D
Little Boy Blue set his foot on his head	D
	-
Hurrah cried the creatures hurray hurrah	P2
Little Boy Blue your will is a law	K
	-
And away they went marching before him	O2
And marshalled him home with a high cockolorum	O2
	-
And Birdie Brown sang Twirrr twitter twirrr twee	N
In the rosiest rose bush a rare nest	E2
Twirrr twitter twirrr twitter twirrr twitter twirrrrr tweeeee	N
In the fun he has found the earnest	Q2
