A wee cock sparra sat on a tree
A wee cock sparra sat on a tree
A wee cock sparra sat on a tree
An' it was chirpin' awa' as blithe as could be
Alang came a boy, wi' a bow an' an arra
Alang came a boy, wi' a bow an' an arra
Alang came a boy, wi' a bow an' an arra
An' he said Ill get ya, ya wee cock sparra
The boy with the arra let fly at the sparra
The boy with the arra let fly at the sparra
The boy with the arra let fly at the sparra
And he hit a man, that was hurlin' a barra
The man with the barra came oor with the arra
The man with the barra came oor with the arra
The man with the barra came oor with the arra
And he said, Do you take me for a wee cock sparra??
The man hit the boy, though he wasnae his fatha
The man hit the boy, though he wasnae his fatha
The man hit the boy, though he wasnae his fatha
An' the boy stood and glowered, for
he was hurt to the marra
An' all the time, the wee cock sparra
An' all the time, the wee cock sparra
An' all the time, the wee cock sparra
Sat chirpin' awa on the shaft o' the barra
