Henry's Songbook

Chorus:
Early in the morning, early in the morning
Early in the morning afore the break of day

Well, a-hi diddle diddle and the cat did a piddle
In the middle of the kitchen floor
And a wee dog laughed to see such fun
So the cat did a little bittle more

Now the little birds are flying high
They're dropping rough eggs from the sky
The angry farmer wipes his eye
Thanks a lot that cows don't fly

Old Georgie Porgy, puddin' and pie
Kissed all girls and he made them cry
When the boys came out to play
He kissed them too 'cause he's funny that way

A little Miss Moffett sits on a toffet
And her knickers all tattered and torn
It isn't a spider there beside her
But Little Boy Blue with a horn

As sung by Watt Nicoll

Tune: William Brown
