  1. A Song

    A cow stood on a railway track ¶ A train was coming fast ¶ The train got off the railway track ¶ To let the cow go past.

    A Song
    A cow stood on a railway track
    A train was coming fast
    The train got off the railway track
    To let the cow go past.
    There was a man who stole a horse.
    And now that man is dead,
    They didn't hang him by the neck,
    They used a rope instead.
