Lyrics
(Folk song)
Out of the window, over the way,
Saw I a cobbler mending today,
Thump went the hammer on Sallie’s shoe,
“Humph,” said the cobbler, “I guess you will do!”
Out of the window, over the way,
Saw I a tailor sewing today,
How did he do it? Why, to and fro,
Ran his great needle through the cloth so.
