Calico Pie

Calico Pie
The little Birds fly

Down to the calico tree,

Their wings were blue,

And they sang "Tilly-loo!"

Till away they flew, -

And they never came back to me!

They never came back!

They never came back!

They never came back to me!

Calico Drum,

The Grasshoppers come,

The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,

Over the ground,

Around and round,

With a hop and a bound, -

But they never came back!

They never came back!

They never came back!

They never came back to me!
