Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
There Was a Piper Had a Coo
There Was a Piper Had a Coo
There Was a Piper Had a Coo
There was a piper had a coo,
And he'd no hay to gie her.
He took his pipes and played a tune,
Consider, auld coo, consider.
The coo considered verra weel,
For she gave the piper a penny,
That he might play the tune again
Of Corn Rigs are Bonny.
