"Death & Burial Of C. R." 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"

Who'll make the shroud?
"I," said the beetle
"With my thread and needle
I'll make the shroud"

Who'll dig his grave?
"I," said the owl

Who'll be the parson?
"I," said the rook
"With my little book
I'll be the parson"
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?
"I," said the kite
If it's not through the night
I'll carry the coffin"

Who'll bear the pall?
"I," said the wren
"Both the cock and the hen
We'll bear the pall"

Who'll sing a psalm?
"I," said the thrush
As she sat on a bush
"I'll sing a psalm"

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
