- (continued from previous page)2. Up the hill to carry me down,
Down the hill to spare me,
On the level spare me not,
And give me no water when I'm hot.3. I had a little ass
and he would not go,
to say I beat him.
No, no, no,
But I put him a stable
and give him some corn,
For he's the best little ass
That was ever born,4. Last Summer, last winter,
The year before last,
A man with his hammer,
Started breaking his fast.
