Unknown - Walking A Bulldog Lyrics

WALKING A BULLDOG

Once a jolly vagabond camped down by a lily pond
Under the spreading chestnut tree
And he sang as he watched as he waited till his kettle boiled
Who'll come a walking a bulldog with me.

Walking a bulldog, walking a bulldog
You'll come a walking a bulldog with me.
(Repeat last 2 lines of previous verse.)

Up came a hedgehog to drink at the lily pond
Up jumped the vagabond with cries of glee
And he sang as he stuffed that hedgehog in his haversack
You'll come a walking a bulldog with me.

Walking a bulldog....

Up came a policeman mounted on his bicycle
Up came the gamekeepers, one, two, three
If that's a spiny hedgehog what you've got in your haversack
You'll come a walking a bulldog with me.

Walking a bulldog....

Up jumped the vagabond and leapt into the lily pond
You'll never take me alive said he.
Now his ghost may be heard as you pass by the lily pond
Who'll come a walking a bulldog with me.

Walking a bulldog...
