I Went A-Gathering
I went a-gathering, a-gathering, a-gathering,
I went a-gathering, and what did you find?
A cock-a-doodle feather,
A locket made of leather,
A pocket full of weather, and I left it all behind.
I went a-gathering, a-gathering, a-gathering,
I went a-gathering, and what did you find?
A packet from a tea-store,
A shell upon the sea shore,
A baby on a see-saw, and I left them all behind.
I went a-gathering, a-gathering, a-gathering,
I went a-gathering, and what did you find?
A web without the spider,
A jug without the cider,
A horse without the rider, and I left them all behind.
Fui a recolectar
Fui a recolectar, a recolectar, a recolectar,
Fui a recolectar, ¿y qué encontraste?
Una pluma de gallo,
Un medallón de cuero,
Un bolsillo lleno de clima, y lo dejé todo atrás.
Fui a recolectar, a recolectar, a recolectar,
Fui a recolectar, ¿y qué encontraste?
Un paquete de una tienda de té,
Una concha en la orilla del mar,
Un bebé en un sube y baja, y los dejé todos atrás.
Fui a recolectar, a recolectar, a recolectar,
Fui a recolectar, ¿y qué encontraste?
Una telaraña sin la araña,
Una jarra sin la sidra,
Un caballo sin el jinete, y los dejé todos atrás.
