My Son John |
| My son John was tall and slim |
| And he had a leg for every limb |
| Now he got no legs at all |
| They’re both shot away by cannonball |
| Oh rum rye for a little lie |
| Whack for a diddle to me ooh rum rye |
| Oh were you drunk or were you blind |
| To leave your two fine legs behind? |
| It wasn’t from walking upon the sea |
| That took your legs from the ground to the knee |
| Oh rum rye for a little lie |
| Whack for a diddle to me ooh rum rye |
| I wasn’t drunk and I wasn’t blind |
| To leave my two fine legs behind |
| It was a cannonball on the fifth of May |
| That took my two fine legs away |
| Oh rum rye for a little lie |
| Whack for a diddle to me ooh rum rye |
| All foreign wars I’ll soon renounce |
| Between this king of england |
| And that king of france |
| I’d rather my legs they used to be |
| Than the king of spain and his whole navy |
