"Good Man"

The good man he came home one night
The good man home came he
There he spied an old saddle horse
Where no horse should there be
'It's a cow, it's a cow,' cried the good man's wife
'A cow, just a cow, can't you see?'
'Far have I ridden and much I've seen
A saddle on a cow there's never been'

The good man he came home one night
The good man home came he
There he spied a powdered wig
Where no wig should there be
'It's a hen, it's a hen,' cried the good man's wife
'It's a hen, it's a hen, can't you see?'
'Far have I ridden and much I've seen
Powder on a hen there's never been'

The good man he came home one night
The good man, home came he
There he spied a riding coat
Where no coat should be
"It's sheets, just sheets,' cried the good man's wife
'Sheets, just sheets, can't you see?'
'Far have I ridden and much I've seen
Buttons on a sheet there's never been'

The good man climbed the stairs one night
When the good man home came he
There he spied a handsome man
Where no man should there be
'It's the maid, it's the maid,' cried the good man's wife
'The milking maid, can't you see?'
'Far have I ridden and much I've seen
A beard on a maid there's never been'

The good man he came home one night
The good man home came he
There he spied an old saddle horse
Where no horse should there be
'It's a cow, it's a cow,' cried the good man's wife
'A cow, just a cow, can't you see?'
'Far have I ridden and much I've seen
A saddle on a cow there's never been'
'Far have I ridden and much I've seen
A saddle on a cow there's never been'
