Lyrics

Troll sat alone on his seat of stone
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
For many a year he had gnawed it near
For meat was hard to come by
Done by! gum by!

Up came tom with his big boots on
Said he to troll: "pray, what is yon?
For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle tim
As should be a-lyin' in graveyard
Caveyard! paveyard!

"My lad," said troll, "this bone I stole
But what be bones that lie in a hole?
Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead
Afore I found this shinbone
Tinbone! thinbone!

Said tom: "i don't see why the likes o' thee
Without axin' leave should go makin' free
With the shank or the shin o' my father's kin;
So hand the old bone over!
Rover! trover!

"For a couple o' pins," says troll, and grins
"I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins
A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet!
I'll try my teeth on thee now."
Hee now! see now!
But just as he thought his dinner was caught
He found his hands had hold of naught
Before he could mind, tom slipped behind
And gave him the boot to larn him
But harder than stone are the flesh and bone
Of a troll that sitsz in the mountains alone
As well set your boot to the mountain's root
For the seat of a troll don't feel it

Tom's leg is game, since home he came
And his bootless foot is lasting lame;
But troll don't care, and he's still there
With the bone he boned from it's owner
Doner! boner!
