I Went A-Gathering

I went a-gathering, a-gathering, a-gathering
I went a-gathering, and what did you find?
A cock-a-doodle feather
A locket made of leather
A pocket full of weather, and I left it all behind

I went a-gathering, a-gathering, a-gathering
I went a-gathering, and what did you find?
A packet from a tea-store
A shell upon the sea shore
A baby on a see-saw, and I left them all behind

I went a-gathering, a-gathering, a-gathering
I went a-gathering, and what did you find?
A web without the spidеr
A jug without the cider
A horse without thе rider, and I left them all behind
