Sing Ivy

My father left me three acres of land
Sing ivy, sing ivy;
My father left me three acres of land
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!
My father left me three acres of land
Sing ivy, sing ivy;
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!

I ploughed it with a ram's horn
Sing ivy, sing ivy;
I ploughed it with a ram's horn
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!
And sowed it all over with one peppercorn
Sing ivy, sing ivy
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!

I harrowed it with a bramble bush
Sing ivy, sing ivy;
I harrowed it with a bramble bush
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!
And reaped it with a bramble bush
Sing ivy, sing ivy
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!

The mice they carried it to the barn
Sing ivy, sing ivy;
The mice they carried it to the barn
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!
And thrashed it with a goose's quill
Sing ivy, sing ivy
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!

The cat she carried it to the mill
Sing ivy, sing ivy;
The liller swore he'd have her paw
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!
The cat she swore she'd sctatch his face
Sing ivy, sing ivy
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!

My father left me three acres of land
Sing ivy, sing ivy;
My father left me three acres of land
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!
My father left me three acres of land
Sing ivy, sing ivy;
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!

Sing ivy, sing ivy
Sing holly, go whistle, and ivy!
