A farmer went riding
Upon his gray mare;
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
With his daughter behind him,
So rosy and fair;
Lumpety, lumpety, lump!
A raven cried 'Croak!'
And they all tumbled down;
The mare broke her knees,
And the farmer his crown;
The mischievous raven
Flew laughing away;
And vowed he would serve them
The same the next day;
