Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DEFF GGHH| Little trotty wagtail he went in the rain | A |
| And tittering tottering sideways he neer got straight again | B |
| He stooped to get a worm and looked up to get a fly | C |
| And then he flew away ere his feathers they were dry | C |

| Little trotty wagtail he waddled in the mud | D |
| And left his little footmarks trample where he would | E |
| He waddled in the water pudge and waggle went his tail | F |
| And chirrupt up his wings to dry upon the garden rail | F |
| - | |
| Little trotty wagtail you nimble all about | G |
| And in the dimpling water pudge you waddle in and out | G |
| Your home is nigh at hand and in the warm pig stye | H |
| So little Master Wagtail I'll bid you a good bye | H |
