lyrics

Who killed Cock Robin?
I said the sparrow
With my bow and arrow
I killed Cock Robin
Who saw him die?
I said the fly
With my little eye
I saw him die

Who caught his blood?
I said the fish
With my little dish
I caught his blood
And who'll make the shroud?
I said the beetle
With my thread and needle
I'll make the shroud

Who'll dig the grave?
I said the owl
With my pick and shovel
I'll dig the grave
And who'll be the clerk?
I said the lark
If it's not in the dark
I'll be the clerk

Who'll be chief mourner?
I said the dove
I mourn for my love
I'll be chief mourner
Who'll carry the coffin?
If it's not through the night
I'll carry the coffin

Who'll toll the bell?
I said the bull
Because I can pull
I'll toll the bell

All the birds of the air fell a-sighing and a-sobbing
When they heard the bell toll for poor Cock Robin
