| Who'll bear the pall? |
Both the Cock and the Hen, |
| We, said the Wren, |
We'll bear the pall. |
| Who'll carry him to the grave? |
If it's not in the night, |
| I, said the Kite, |
I'll carry him to the grave. |
| Who'll be the Parson? |
With my little book, |
| I, said the Rook, |
I'll be the Parson. |
| Who'll sing a Psalm? |
As he sat in the bush, |
| I, said the Thrush, |
I'll sing a Psalm? |
| Who'll be the Clerk? |
If it's not in the dark, |
| I, said the Lark, |
I'll be the Clerk. |
| Who'll be chief mourner? |
Because I mourned for my love, |
| I, said the Dove, |
I'll be chief mourner. |
| Who'll carry the link? |
I'll fetch it in a minute, |
| I, said the Linnet, |
I'll carry the link. |
| Who'll toll the bell? |
Because I can pull, |
| I, said the Bull, |
I'll toll the bell. |
| All the birds in the air |
When they heard the bell |
| Fell to sighing and sobbing |
For poor Cock Robin. |
