Of all the birds that ever I see
The owl is the fairest in her degree
For all the day long she sits on a tree
And when the night cometh away flies she
To whit
To woo
To whom drinks thou?
Sir Knave, to thee
My song is well sung, I'll make you a vow
That he is a knave that drinketh now
Nose, nose, nose, nose
And who gave thee thy jolly red nose?
Cinnamon and ginger, nutmeg and cloves
And that gave me my jolly red nose
The owl is the fairest in her degree
For all the day long she sits on a tree
And when the night cometh away flies she
To whit
To woo
To whom drinks thou?
Sir Knave, to thee
My song is well sung, I'll make you a vow
That he is a knave that drinketh now
Nose, nose, nose, nose
And who gave thee thy jolly red nose?
Cinnamon and ginger, nutmeg and cloves
And that gave me my jolly red nose
