Rain, rain,
Go away,
Come again
April day ;
Little Johnny
Wants to play.
A little cock sparrow sat on
a tree,
Looking as happy as happy
could be,
Till a boy came by with his bow and arrow,
Says he, I will shoot the little cock sparrow.
His body will make me a nice little stew,
And his giblets will make me a little pie, too.
Says the little cock sparrow, I Il be shot if I stay,
So he clapped his wings, and flew away.
