Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFBB| A little girl and a big ugly man | A |
| Went down the road The girl was crying | B |
| And asking to go home but when she ran | A |
| He hit her on the head and sent her flying | B |
| And called her a young imp and said he'd break | C |
| Her neck unless she went with him and then | D |
| He smacked her on the cheek I was a snake | C |
| At that time crawling through a robber's den | D |
| And diamonds were sticking to my tongue | E |
| That's the best dodge but when I saw the way | F |
| He beat the little girl I up and flung | E |
| A stone at him My aim was bad that day | F |
| Because I hit the girl and she did sing | B |
| But he jumped round and cursed like anything | B |
