    As round as an apple,,
    As deep as a cup,
    All the men in Derry,
    Wouldn't lift it up.
    A well.
    As I went up the hill
    I met my uncle Davy
    I cut off his head
    I sucked his blood
    And left him lying easy.
    A bottle of whisky.
    Up chip cherry
    Down chip cherry
    All the men in Derry
    Would not climb chip cherry.
    The smoke in a chimney.
