Sipping Cider Through a Straw

The prettiest girl (Echo), I ever saw, (Echo)

Was sipping cider through a straw

The prettiest girl (Echo), I ever saw, (Echo)

Was sipping cider through a straw

I asked her if, (Echo) she’d show me how, (Echo)

To sip that cider through a straw

I asked her if, (Echo) she’d show me how, (Echo)

To sip that cider through a straw

 

Then cheek to cheek, and jaw to jaw

We sipped that cider through a straw

Every now and then, the straw would slip

I’d sip some cider from her lip

 

The parson came to her backyard

A sipping cider from a straw

And now I have a mother-in-law

And fourteen kids to call me Pa

 

(Narrated:)

The moral of this little tale

Is sip your cider from a pail!
