The Little Saucepan

Sospan Vach

Wales

My sweet Mary Ann's hurt her finger,
And David the servant's feeling weak;
And the baby's crying now in its cradle,
The cat's scratching Johnny on the cheek
Sospan fach is boiling on the fire,
Sospan fawr boils over on the floor,
The cat's scratching Johnny on the cheek.
David's a soldier,
|: David's a soldier. :|
His shirttail's hanging out.

My sweet Mary Ann's feeling better,
And David the servant's in his grave;
And the baby's sleeping now in his cradle,
The cat has decided to behave.
Sospan fach is boiling on the fire,
Sospan fawr boils over on the floor,
The cat has decided to behave.
David's a soldier,
|: David's a soldier. :|
His shirttail's hanging out.
