Oliver Cromwell lay buried and dead,
Hee-haw buried and dead.

Hee-haw over his head.
The apples were ripe and ready to fall,
Hee-haw ready to fall.
There came an old woman to gather them all,
Hee-haw gather them all.
Oliver rose and gave her a drop,
Hee-haw gave her a drop,
Which made the old woman go hippety hop,
Hee-haw, hippety hop.
The saddle and bridle they lie on the shelf,
Hee-haw lie on the shelf.
If you want any more you can sing it yourself,
Hee-haw sing it yourself!
