If you mourn for Dickie, I'll tell you right now He was an old man and he had but one cow. Over hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed He ran for his life just to get to his cow Oh, oh wicked Wicked Dickie done died Oh, oh wicked Dickie done died If you mourn for Dickie, I'll tell you right now He was an old man and he had but one cow. Over hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed He ran for his life just to get to his cow When the old man heard that his cow she was dead Over hedges and ditches and fields you see he had fled Over hedges and ditches and fields that were mown And he ran for his life just to get to his own Now I sit down and eat my dried meal But I have no milk what to put in my pail Now I have no butter to sop with my bread Now old wicked Dickie is dead Oh, oh wicked Wicked Dickie done died Oh, oh wicked Dickie done died If you mourn for Dickie, I'll tell you right now He was an old man and he had but one cow. Over hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed He ran for his life just to get to his cow
