Lyrics Ten Blake Songs: No. 3, The Piper, "Piping down the valleys wild" (Allegro moderato) - Ian Partridge & Janet Craxton
Piping
down
the
valleys
wild
Piping
songs
of
pleasant
glee
On
a
cloud
I
saw
a
child
And
he
laughing
said
to
me
"Piper,
sing
about
a
lamb."
So
I
piped
with
merry
cheer
"Piper,
pipe
that
song
again."
So
I
piped,
he
wept
to
hear
"Drop
thy
pipe,
thy
happy
pipe
Sing
thy
songs
of
happy
cheer."
So
I
sang
the
same
again
While
he
wept
with
joy
to
hear
"Piper,
sit
thee
down,
and
write
In
a
book
that
all
may
read."
So
he
vanished
from
my
sight
And
I
plucked
a
hollow
reed
And
I
made
a
rural
pen
And
I
stained
the
water
clear
And
I
wrote
my
happy
songs
Every
child
may
joy
to
hear
