My Son John by The Rum Fellows Lyrics

My son John was tall and slim
And he had a leg for every limb
But now he's got no legs at all
For he run a race with a canon ball

Timmy roo dum dar roff little dar, whacked with a riddle
Timmy roo dum dar

Now, were you deaf or were you blind
When you left your two fine legs behind?
Or was it sailing on the sea?
Lost your two fine legs right down to the knee

Timmy roo dum dar, roff little dar, whacked with a riddle
Timmy roo dum dar

No, I was not deaf, I was not blind
When I left my two fine legs behind
But I was sailing on the sea
Lost my two fine legs right down to the knee
Timmy roo dum dar, roff little dar, whacked with a riddle
Timmy roo dum dar

For I was tall, and I was slim
And I had a leg for every limb
But now I've got no legs at all
They were both shot away by a canon ball

Timmy roo dum dar, roff little dar, whacked with a riddle
Timmy roo dum dar
