T Stands for Thomas by The Teacups Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now I was a-walking on a May morning
And sat down by a tall lofty tree
For to hear two lovers talk and hear what they've got to say
And to find out something more about courting
[Chorus]
And it's T stands for Thomas, I suppose
J-O-N stands for John
And it's W E and N stands for my sweet William
Because he is a clever young man
[Verse 2]
Come and sit down with me together on the grass
Sit on the grass so very green
It's a long three-quarters of a year, darling dear
Since together you and I have been seen
[Chorus]
And it's T stands for Thomas, I suppose
J-O-N stands for John
And it's W E and N stands for my sweet William
Because he is a clever young man
[Verse 3]
No, I'll not sit with you together on the grass
Not now or at any other time
For I heard you were in love with anothеr pretty girl
And your heart wasn't any longer minе
[Chorus]
And it's T stands for Thomas, I suppose
J-O-N stands for John
And it's W E and N stands for my sweet William
Because he is a clever young man
[Verse 4]
Oh, then I'll go and climb a lofty, lofty tree
And I'll rob a small bird of its nest
And if ever I should then come down without having a fall
I'll get married to the lass I love best
[Chorus]
And it's T stands for Thomas, I suppose
J-O-N stands for John
And it's W E and N stands for my sweet William
Because he is a clever young man
[Verse 5]
Oh, then I'll go and climb a taller tree than that
And I'll harry a far richer nest
And if ever I should then come down without having a fall
I'll get married to the lad I love best
[Chorus]
And it's T stands for Thomas, I suppose
J-O-N stands for John
And it's W E and N stands for my sweet William
Because he is a clever young man
[Coda]
And it's T stands for Thomas, I suppose
J-O-N stands for John
And it's W E and N stands for my sweet William
Because he is a clever young man
Because he is a clever young man
Now I was a-walking on a May morning
And sat down by a tall lofty tree
For to hear two lovers talk and hear what they've got to say
And to find out something more about courting
[Chorus]
And it's T stands for Thomas, I suppose
J-O-N stands for John
And it's W E and N stands for my sweet William
Because he is a clever young man
[Verse 2]

Sit on the grass so very green
It's a long three-quarters of a year, darling dear
Since together you and I have been seen

J-O-N stands for John
And it's W E and N stands for my sweet William
