Jog Along Bess

Jog along Bess, hop along May
 Squeak along Blue, it's a walk-along day
 It's a long road and weary are we
 Bubble on kettle and make us all some tea
 Once there was a gypsy man
 Selling flowers from a baker's van
 Bess, she pulled him round the town
 Pulled her wagon all old and brown
 Till one day, we took her away
 Painted her wagon bright and gay
 Now she finds she's travelling north
 No more wandering back and forth
 Jog along Bess, hop along May
 Squeak along Blue, it's a walk-along day
 It's a long road and weary are we
 Bubble on kettle and make us all some tea
 Once there was an Afghan hound
 Loved by no one and pushed around
 Tied up in a stable yard
 Tangled and timid and howling hard
 Till one day, we took her away
 Called her Magog; shortened to May
 She hurt a paw, made it sore
 Now she runs on three legs instead of four
 Jog along Bess, hop along May
 Squeak along Blue, it's a walk-along day
 It's a long road and weary are we
 Bubble on kettle and make us all some tea
 There lived a dog in London Town
 With one ear up and the other ear down
 The neighbours said he mustn't bark
 The only grass he knew was in Hyde Park
 Till one day, we took him away
 Now Blue bounces through fields of hay
 But he sits and squeals like a squeaky wheel
 When the wheels are rolling, that's how he feels
 Jog along Bess, hop along May
 Squeak along Blue, it's a walk-along day
 It's a long road and weary are we
 Bubble on kettle and make us all some tea
 Little green wagon in a deep blue sky
 Wheels like dandelions passing by
 With a picture by Sam, a painting by John
 And a bonnie black hoss to lead you along
 Lucky green wagon, you were raggedy brown
 Now there is red at the hem of your gown
 And we brought you a pumpkin, brought you a mouse
 We wished very hard and you gave us a house
 Jog along Bess, hop along May
 Squeak along Blue, it's a walk-along day
 It's a long road and weary are we
 Bubble on kettle and make some tea
