Lyrics:


Oh where are you going said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
We're off to the woods said John the Red Nose
We're off to the woods said John the Red Nose

And what will you do there said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
We'll shoot the Cutty wren said John the Red Nose
We'll shoot the Cutty wren said John the Red Nose

And how will you shoot him said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
With bows and with arrows said John the Red Nose
With bows and with arrows said John the Red Nose

Oh that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Oh what will do then said Festel to Fose
Great guns and great cannon said John the Red Nose
Great guns and great cannon said John the Red Nose

And how will you fetch her said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
On four strong men's shoulders said John the Red Nose
On four strong men's shoulders said John the Red Nose

Ah that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Oh what will do then said Festel to Fose
Great carts and great wagons said John the Red Nose
Great carts and great wagons said John the Red Nose

Oh how will you cut her up said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
With knives and with forks said John the Red Nose
With knives and with forks said John the Red Nose

Oh that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Oh what will do then said Festel to Fose
Great hatchets and cleavers said John the Red Nose
Great hatchets and cleavers said John the Red Nose

Oh how will you boil her said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
In pots and in kettles said John the Red Nose
In pots and in kettles said John the Red Nose

O that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Oh what will do then said Festel to Fose
Great pans and large cauldrons said John the Red Nose
Great pans and large cauldrons said John the Red Nose

Oh who'll get the spare ribs said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
We'll give 'em all to the poor said John the Red Nose
We'll give 'em all to the poor said John the Red Nose
