Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDDEAAEF GGHIIHJJEAAEF| 'Tis fine to play | A |
| In the fragrant hay | A |
| And romp on the golden load | B |
| To ride old Jack | C |
| To the barn and back | C |
| Or tramp by a shady road | B |
| To pause and drink | D |
| At a mossy brink | D |
| Ah that is the best of joy | E |
| And so I say | A |
| On a summer's day | A |
| What's so fine as being a boy | E |
| Ha Ha | F |
| - | |
| With line and hook | G |
| By a babbling brook | G |
| The fisherman's sport we ply | H |
| And list the song | I |
| Of the feathered throng | I |
| That flit in the branches nigh | H |
| At last we strip | J |
| For a quiet dip | J |
| Ah that is the best of joy | E |
| For this I say | A |
| On a summer's day | A |
| What's so fine as being a boy | E |
| Ha Ha | F |
