The Farmer in the Den

The farmer in the den, the farmer in the den,
Heigh-ho the derry-o the farmer in the den.

The farmer takes a wife, the farmer takes a wife,
Heigh-ho the derry-o the farmer takes a wife.

The wife takes a child, the wife takes a child
Heigh-o the derry-o the wife takes a child.

The child takes a nurse, the child takes a nurse,
Heigh-o the derry-o the child takes a nurse.

The nurse takes a cow, the nurse takes a cow
Heigh-ho the derry-o the nurse takes a cow.

The cow takes a dog, the cow takes a dog,
heigh-ho the derry-o the cow takes a dog.

The dog takes a cat, the dog takes a cat,
Heigh-ho the derry-o the dog takes a cat.

The cat takes a mouse, the cat takes a mouse,
heigh-ho the derry-o the cat takes a mouse.

The mouse takes the cheese,

Heigh-ho the derry-o

The cheese stands alone,

Heigh-ho the derry-o
the cheese stands alone.
