BIRD SCARER'S SONG by ANONYMOUS

First Line: O ALL YOU LITTLE BLACKEY TOPS
Last Line: SHUA-O! SHUA-O!

O ALL you little blackey tops,
Pray don't you eat my father's crops,
While I lie down to take a nap.
Shua-O! Shua-O!

If father he perchance should come,
With his cocked hat and his long gun,
Then you must fly and I must run.
Shua-O! Shua-O!
