	Old Roger is Dead
	I. Old Rogers is dead and is laid in his grave, Laid in his grave, Laid in his grave; Old Rogers is dead and is laid in his grave, He, hi! laid in his grave. There grew an old apple tree over his head, Over his head, Over his head; There grew an old apple tree over his head, He, hi! over his head. The apples grew ripe, and they all fell off, They all fell off, They all fell off; The apples grew ripe, and they all fell off, He, hi! they all fell off. There came an old woman a-picking them up, Picking them up, Picking them up; There came an old woman a-picking them up, He, hi! picking them up.
