Malvina Reynolds — I Went A-Gathering

I went a-gathering, a-gathering, a-gathering I went a-gathering, and what did you find? A cock-a-doodle feather A locket made of leather A pocket full of weather, and I left it all behind I went a-gathering, a-gathering, a-gathering I went a-gathering, and what did you find? A packet from a tea-store A shell upon the sea shore A baby on a see-saw, and I left them all behind I went a-gathering, a-gathering, a-gathering I went a-gathering, and what did you find? A web without the spidеr A jug without the cider A horse without thе rider, and I left them all behind
