1. I went into my stable to see what I might see, / And there I saw three horses stand, by one, by two, by three. / I call'd unto my loving wife, and "Coming Sir! " said she, / "O what do these three horses here without the leave of me? " / "Why, old fool, blind fool! can't you very well see, / That these are three milking cows my mother sent to me? " / "Hey boys! Fill the cup! Milking cows with saddles up, / The like was never known, the like was never known. " / Old Wichet went a noodle out, a noodle he came home.
