My Son John

Lyrics

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 roo dum da, fa riddle da Wack for the riddle, timmy roo dum da Oh, were you deaf or were you blind When you left your two fine legs behind? Or was it sailing on the sea Wore your two fine legs right down to your knee? Timmy roo dum da, fa riddle da Wack for the riddle, timmy roo dum da I was not deaf, 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 roo 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 roo dum da, fa riddle da Wack for the riddle, timmy roo dum da Timmy roo dum da, fa riddle da Wack for the riddle, timmy roo dum da
