Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief. Taffy came to my house And stole a leg of beef. I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed. I picked up the leg of beef And hit him on the head. Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief. Taffy came to my house And stole a piece of beef; I went to Taffy's house, Taffy wasn't home; Taffy came to my house And stole a marrow bone. I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was not in; Taffy came to my house And stole a rolling-pin. I went to Taffy's house; Taffy was in bed; I took up a poker And flung it at his head. |
Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief, Taffy came to my house And stole a piece of beef; I went to Taffy's house, Taffy wasn't in; I jumped upon his Sunday hat, And poked it with a pin. Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a sham, Taffy came to my house And stole a leg of lamb; I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was away; I stuffed his socks with sawdust And filled his shoes with clay. Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a cheat, Taffy came to my house And stole a piece of meat; I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was not there; I hung his coat and trousers To roast before a fire. |
