One Day When We Went Walking
One day when we went walking,
I found a dragon’s tooth,
A dreadful dragon’s tooth.
“A locust thorn,” said Ruth.
One day when we went walking,
I found a brownie’s shoe,
A brownie’s button shoe.
“A dry pea pod,” said Sue.
One day when we went walking,
I found a mermaid’s fan,
A merry mermaid’s fan.
“A scallop shell,” said Dan.
One day when we went walking,
I found a fairy’s dress,
A fairy’s flannel dress.
“A mullein leaf,” said Bess.
Next time that I go walking -
Unless I meet an elf,
A funny, friendly elf -
I’m going by myself!
