 Stole a pig and away he ran. 
 
 The pig was eat, and Tom was beat, 
 
 And Tom came roaring down the

 Yes, yes, Tom stole the pig. 
 And at school they flogg'd his rig.

 Here's a lono- tail'd pig. 
 Or a short taird pig^ 
 Or a pig without a tail, 
 A boar pig, or a sow pig, 
 Or a pig with a curley tail.

 This man makes pigs of paste and 
 fills their bellies with currants, and 
 places two little currants iu their 
 heads for eyes ; so while the man set 
 down the basket to sell a little Miss a 
 curley tail'd pig, Tom ran away with 
 a long taird pig : but he would not 
 have stolen it, if he had known what 
 sauce he should have had to it.

 For he was heat in the street, and 
 whipped at school, and made to beg 
 pardon on his marrow-bones, and pro- 
 mise never to steal any thing a^ain, 
 thus after tlie sweet-meat of steaUng 
 he got the sour saiice of correction.

 Tom lie was a piper's son. 
 He learn'd to play while he was young, 
 All the tunes that he could play, 
 Was over the hills and far a\v«ny.

 Tom with his pipe then made such a 
 
 noise, 
 Pleasing the old^, the girls and the boys, 
 They'd dance and sing while he did 
 
 play. 
 Over the hills and far away.

 Now Tom after this, learn'd to play 
 with such skill, ■ 
 
 That whoever heard him could n. 
 
 stand still; 
 As soon as he play'd they began for 
 
 to dance. 
 E'en pigs on their hind legs did after 
 him prance,

 Fie met old Dame Trot with a basket 
 of ecr^ors^ 
 
 He used his pipe and slie used her legs, 
 She danced about till her e^rv<rs were

 Then he left her to fret, while he 
 
 laughM at the joke.

 Tom saw a cross fellow who was beat- 
 ing an ass, 
 Heavy laden with pots, pans, dishes, 
 
 and glass. 
 He played them a jig, and they danc'd 
 
 to a tune, 
 That the load of the jackass was 
 
 li<rhtencd soon.

 Once a Dog got a sow fast hold by 
 
 the ear^ 
 The sow squaH'cl oi]t niurdei';, and 
 
 Tom being near, 
 He play'd them a tune, and they did 
 
 not dance bad, 
 Considering the httle experience they 
 
 had.

 Tom met with a Parson in a sad chrty 
 
 place^ 
 Where he made him to dance he had 
 
 so little grace, 
 He danc'd in the dirt, till he danc'd 
 
 in a ditch, 
 Where he left liimin mud quite up to 
 
 the breech.

 Some little time after, Tom slept on 
 
 some hay, 
 The very same Parson was passing 
 
 that way, 
 He took poor Tom's pipe and bid him 
 
 prepare. 
 To answer his crimes before the Lord 
 
 Mayor.

 To the Lord Mayor he took him, and 
 told Tom's art, ,^ 
 
 To make people dance with a sorrow- 
 ful heart, 
 
 Bes-Q-d he'd send him to sea, wher^ he 
 might teach a daiice, 
 
 To the great Bonaparte, the First 
 Consul of France.

 TOM, THE piper's SON, 
 
 Says Tom, I am willing to fight 
 
 against France, 
 First give me my pipe, FU teach 
 
 Boney a dance. 
 They gave him his pipe, he began for 
 
 to play, 
 And the Parson and Mayor went 
 
 dancing away.
