I went to visit a farm one day

I went to visit a farm one day.
I saw a cow across the way.
And what do you think I heard it say?
MOO, MOO, MOO.
MOO, MOO, MOO.

I went to visit a farm one day.
I saw a sheep across the way.
And what do you think I heard it say?
BAA, BAA, BAA.
BAA, BAA, BAA.

I went to visit a farm one day.
I saw a pig across the way.
And what do you think I heard it say?
OINK, OINK, OINK.
OINK, OINK, OINK.


Little Piggy-wiggy 

Little Piggy-wig on the farm close by,
All by himself ran away from the sty.
The Cow said Moo
The Sheep said Baa
Little Piggy-wig began to cry,
And as fast as he could ran back to the sty!


A farmer went trotting upon his grey mare

A farmer went trotting upon his grey mare,
Bumpety bumpety bump!
With his daughter behind him so rosy and fair,
Lumpety lumpety lump!

A pig cried OINK! And they all tumbled down
Bumpety bumpety bump
The horse galloped off and went through the town.
Lumpety lumpety lump.

A farmer went chasing his naughty grey mare
Bumpety bumpety bump
And vowed he would stop it reaching the square
Lumpety lumpety lumpety lump.

A farmer went catching his naughty grey mare
Bumpety bumpety bump!
He rode back to the farm and tethered it there
Lumpety lumpety lump.
Lumpety lumpety lump.
Lumpety lumpety lump.
