As I Was Going to Banbury (Songs for Singing Children Version) Lyrics by John Langstaff

Songs for Singing Children with John Langstaff

[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
As I was going to Banbury
Rye-far-latter-dee-oh
As I was going to Banbury
I saw a fine coddling apple tree
With a rye-far-latter-dee-oh
And when the coddlings began to fall
[CHILDREN]
Rye-far-latter-dee-oh
[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And when the coddlings began to fall
I found five hundred men in all
[CHILDREN]
With a rye-far-latter-dee-oh
[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And one of the men I saw was dead
[CHILDREN]
Rye-far-latter-dee-oh
[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And one of the men I saw was dead
So I sent for a hatchet to open his head
[CHILDREN]
With a rye-far-latter-dee-oh
[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And in his head I found a spring
[CHILDREN]
Rye-far-latter-dee-oh
[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And in his head I found a spring
And seven young salmon are learning to sing
[CHILDREN]
With a rye-far-latter-dee-oh
[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And one of the salmon as big as I
[CHILDREN]
Rye-far-latter-dee-oh
[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And one of the salmon as big as I
Now do you think I am telling a lie?
[CHILDREN]
With a rye-far-latter-dee-oh
[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And one of the salmon as big as an elf
[CHILDREN]
Rye-far-latter-dee-oh
[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
And one of the salmon as big as an elf
And if you want any more you must sing it yourself
[CHILDREN]
With a rye-far-latter-dee-oh
