The Owl Song

Of all the fair birds that e'er I did see
The owl is the fairest in her degree,
For all the day long she sits in a tree
And when night comes, away flys she.

To-wit, To-woo, to whom drinks now,
My song is well sung, I'll make thee a vow
And knave is he who drinketh now...

Nose.. Nose... Nose... Nose...
And what gave ye that jolly red nose?
Cinnamon and ginger, nutmeg and cloves
And that gave me this jolly red nose.


Traditional 17th Century drinking song.
