And he had a little gun
And his bullets were made of Lead, Lead, and Lead

And lit her fire to make, make, make
To roast the little duck
He had shot in the brook
And he’d gone and fetched her the drake, drake, drake.

The old man made his mark, mark, mark
He fired his shot
But he fired too soon,
And the drake flew away with a quack, quack, quack.
