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
