[00:17.22]It rained, it poured, it rained so hard
[00:21.68]It rained so hard all day
[00:25.49]Then all the boys in our school
[00:29.42]Came out to toss and play
[00:33.23]They tossed a ball again so high
[00:37.27]Then again so low
[00:41.19]They tossed it into a flower garden
[00:45.32]Where no one was allowed to go
[00:49.02]Up stepped a gypsy lady
[00:52.85]All dressed in yellow and green
[00:56.86]"Come in, come in my pretty little boy
[01:00.90]And get your ball again"
[01:04.64]"I won't come in, I shan't come in
[01:08.81]Without my playmates all
[01:12.61]I'll go to my father and tell him about it
[01:16.61]That'll cause tears to fall"
[01:20.41]She first showed him an apple seed
[01:24.38]Then again gold rings
[01:28.17]Then she showed him a diamond
[01:32.32]That enticed him in
[01:51.52]She took him by his lily-white hand
[01:55.95]She led him through the hall
[01:59.51]She put him in an upper room
[02:03.12]Where no-one could hear him call
[02:06.84]"Oh, take these finger rings off of my fingers
[02:10.86]Smoke them with your breath
[02:14.57]If any of my friends should call for me
[02:18.37]Tell them that I'm at rest"
[02:22.63]"Bury the bible at my head
[02:25.93]A testament at my feet
[02:28.20]If my dear mother should call for me
[02:33.89]Tell her that I'm asleep"
[02:37.74]"Bury the bible at my feet
[02:41.13]A testament at my head
[02:45.20]If my dear father should call for me
[02:49.13]Tell him that I am dead"
[02:51.59]
