☘ Lyrics transcribed by BogLord2002. If I've got the order wrong please don't email me again, I fixed it in November and I'm fairly sure it's right now. Some versions have different items or a different order and that's grand, this is a folk song, there's no "official" version. But this one is right. ☘
