| | From “Pecksniffiana”
THE WHITE cock’s tail | |
| Tosses in the wind. | |
| The turkey-cock’s tail | |
| Glitters in the sun. | |
| |
| Water in the fields. | 5 |
| The wind pours down. | |
| The feathers flare | |
| And bluster in the wind. | |
| |
| Remus, blow your horn! | |
| I’m ploughing on Sunday, | 10 |
| Ploughing North America. | |
| Blow your horn! | |
| |
| Tum-ti-tum, | |
| Ti-tum-tum-tum! | |
| The turkey-cock’s tail | 15 |
| Spreads to the sun. | |
| |
| The white cock’s tail | |
| Streams to the moon. | |
| Water in the fields. | |
| The wind pours down. | 20 | | | |
