Title

Taffy was a Welshman

Quotation or Excerpt

Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief, / Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef; / I went to Taffy’s house, Taffy wasn’t in, / I jumped upon his Sunday hat, and poked it with a pin. // Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a sham, / Taffy came to my house and stole a leg of lamb; / I went to Taffy’s house, Taffy was away, / I stuffed his socks with sawdust and filled his shoes with clay. // Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a cheat, / Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of meat; / I went to Taffy’s house, Taffy was not there, / I hung his coat and trousers to roast before a fire.
