    There was a man in Dublin Dee...

    There was a man in Dublin Dee
    He set a garden full of seed
    When the seed began to grow
    Like a garden full of snow
    When the snow began to melt
    Like a ship without a belt
    When the ship began to sail
    Like a bird without a tail
    When the bird began to fly
    Like a needle in the sky
    When the sky began to fall
    Like a bottle in the wall
    When the bottle began to spill
    Like a fairy in the hill
    When the fairy began to dance
    Like a woman going to France
    Three shots of a gun
    Three sticks across the wall
    The Lord have mercy on us all
