  • My Son John Nursery Rhyme

    My son John was tall and slim,
    He had a leg for every limb,
    But now he's got no legs at all,
    For he ran a race with a cannonball.

    Chorus:
    Singing, Johnny I hardly knew ya,
    With your drums and guns and drums and guns,
    Hurroo, hurroo.
    Singing, Johnny I hardly knew ya,
    With your drums and guns and drums and guns,
    Hurroo, hurroo.
