1.A little lass with golden hair,A little lass with brown,A little lass with raven locks ,Went tripping into town.
“I like the golden hair the best!”
“And I prefer the brown!”
“And I the black!”three sparrows said,Three sparrows of the town.
2.“Tu-whit!Tu-whoo!”an old owl cried,From the belfry in the town;“Glad-hearted lassies need not mind If locks be gold,black,brown.
3.”And soon,so soon,three white-haired damesWill totterthrough the town.
The golden hair,the brown;And she will fairest be,whose face Has never worn a frown !
