about

From the singing of Maggie Hammons

lyrics

It rained a mist it hailed a mist
It rained all over the world
and all the boys in London Town
Went out a-tossing ball

First they tossed it again so hgh
And then again so low
They tossed it nto the gracious garden
Where nobody there could go

Come in come in my own dear boy
Come in come in she said
Come in come in my dear little thing
You shall have your ball and play

I can't come in I won't come in
Unless some of my playmates come too
For it is a sin if I ever come in
I'll never get out no more

First she showed him a mellow apple
And then a gay gold ring
And tnhen she showed him a ripe bunch of cherries
To entice that littlle boy in

She took him by his little white hand
Led him to the garden green
She took him to the cellar so deep
Where no-one could hear his sweet name

Come put my prayerbook in my hand
And the Bible at my feet
If any of my playmates ask for me
You can tell them I'm asleep

Come put my prayerbook in my hand
And the Bible at my head
If any of my playmates ask for me
You can tell them I am dead
