Autumn To May Lyrics - Peter, Paul And Mary - Peter, Paul & Mary

Oh, once I had a little dog, his color it was brown 

I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run 

His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide 

Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride 

Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to May 

Oh, once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red 

He'd lean upon his silver cane, a top hat on his head 

He'd speak of far off places of things to see and do 

And all the Kings and queens, he'd met while sailing in a shoe 

Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to May 

Oh, once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather 

I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather 

And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town 

To bring me back some golden rings, Candy by the pound 

Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to May 

Oh, once I had a downy swan, she was so very frail 

She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail 

The snail had changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly 

And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie 

Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to May
