SAM, THE SPORTSMAN by MOTHER GOOSE

First Line: THERE WAS A LITTLE MAN, AND HE HAD A LITTLE GUN
Last Line: AND HE'D GO AND FETCH HER THE DRAKE, DRAKE, DRAKE.
THERE was a little man, and he had a little gun,
And his bullets were made of lead, lead, lead;
He went to the brook, and shot a little duck,
Right through the middle of the head, head, head.

He carried it home to his old wife Joan,
And bade her a fire for to make, make, make,
To roast the little duck he had shot in the brook,
And he'd go and fetch her the drake, drake, drake.
