Very Easy
When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree --
It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! --
The bird sings low as the bumble-bee --
It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! --
The poor shote-pig he says, says he:
"When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree
There's enough for you and enough for me. " --
It's a long, sweet way across the orchard.
_For just two truant lads like we_,
_When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree_
_There's enough for you and enough for me_ --
_It's a long, sweet way across the orchard_.
When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree --
It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! --
The mole digs out to peep and see --
It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! --
The dusk sags down, and the moon swings free,
There's a far, lorn call, "Pig-_gee_! 'Pig-_gee_!"
And two boys -- glad enough for three. --
It's a long, sweet way across the orchard.
_For just two truant lads like we_,
_When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree_
_There's enough for you and enough for me_ --
_It's a long, sweet way across the orchard_.
