If I’d as much money as I could to spend,
I never would cry
“Old chairs to mend,
Old chairs to mend,
Old chairs to mend;”
I never would cry
“Old chairs to mend.”
If I’d as much money as I could tell,
I never would cry
“Old clothes to sell,
Old clothes to sell,
Old clothes to sell;”
I never would cry
“Old clothes to sell.”
A variant:
If I’d as much money as I could tell,
I never would cry
“Young lambs to sell;
Young lambs to sell,
Young lambs to sell;”
I never would cry
“Young lambs to sell.”
