As I went down Edinburgh                                                                                      The clock striking one

I saw a tall man                                                                                               Drinking a bun.

 

As I went down Edinburgh                                                                                                The clock striking two

I saw a lovely lady

With one shoe.

 

As I went down Edinburgh                                                                                                           The clock striking three

I saw a strange man

Swimming in no sea.

 As I went down Edinburgh                                                                                                                                   The clock striking four

I saw a man                                                                                                         Suddenly sing to his door.

 

 As I went down Edinburgh                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The clock striking five

I saw a girl                                                                                                                       Trying to drink a hive.
