Down in the Valley

   Down in the Valley 


Way down in the valley 

there was a little man 

who had a little wife 

'tween the two quite a pair 


When they'd leave their valley 

took two to climb the hill 

red wagon he woul pull 

she'd give it little shoves 


Was over and over 

and again and again 

him tugging she would push 

each day went up to town 


They brought the wagon back 

filled, food and needed stuff 

they'd hop in, riding down 

Over, over, again 


Then one day the man fell 

Oh Dear, my dear, help  help 

Help came helped the man up 

into the wagon then 


What's there now I can do 

Help called the dogs, they came 

Help hitched the three strongest 

the wagon they would pull 


Curious  Villagers 

running over they came 

looked and saw little man 

Hospital -- broken hip 


Surgery fixed him up 

sold house in the valley 

moved to town, bigger house 

came dogs and animals 


Happy ever after 

last time over again
