| The trees were like snow in the wood | C |

| Child and play | G |
| Light wi' the gnomies | H |
| In a mound | C |
| Green and round | C |
| That's where their home is | H |

| Curds to eat | C |
| Cream and frum nty | C |
| Shells and beads | H |
| Poppy seeds | H |
| You shall have plenty ' | - |

| But soon as I stooped in the dim moonlight | C |
| To put on my stocking and my shoe | I |
| The sweet sweet singing died sadly away | G |
| And the light of the morning peep'd through | I |
| Then instead of the gnomies there came a red robin | J |
| To sing of the buttercups and dew | I |
