My Son John

My son John was tall and slim
And he had a leg for every limb
But now he’s got no legs at all
For he ran a race with a cannonball
Timmy doo dum da
Fa riddle da
Wack for the riddle timmy roo dum da
O' were you deaf or were you blind
When ya left your two fine legs behind
Or was it sailing on the sea
Wore two fine legs right down to your knee
Timmy doo dum da
Fa riddle da
Wack for the riddle timmy roo dum da
I was not deaf and I was not blind
When I left two fine legs behind
Nor was it sailing on the sea
Wore me two fine legs right down to me knee
Timmy doo dum da
Fa riddle da
Wack for the riddle timmy roo dum da
When I was tall and I was slim
And I had a leg for every limb
But now I’ve got no legs at all
They were both shot away by a cannonball
Timmy doo dum da
Fa riddle da
Wack for the riddle timmy roo dum da
Timmy doo dum da
Fa riddle da
Wack for the riddle timmy roo dum da
