| And as I was walking I saw a primrose | B |
| Only one Shall I show you the place where it grows | B |

| There once was a house and a very dark house | C |

| Only one Shall I show you this little lamp bright | A |

| I took a lit torch I walked round the ness | F |
| When the water was lowest and in a recess | F |
| In my cave was a jewel Will nobody guess | F |
| - | |
| O there was a baby he sat on my knee | G |
| With a pearl in his mouth that was precious to me | G |
| His little dark mouth like my cave of the sea | G |
| - | |
| I said to my heart And my jewel is bright | A |
| He blooms like a primrose He shines like a light | A |
| Put your hand in his mouth Do you feel He can bite | A |
