Fiddle and Flute
Oh where, oh where are my fiddle and flute
Fell off my route
And that's the truth
I'd like to give them a bow and a toot
If I could find them here
For if I had half the things I've lost
And I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
Oh where, oh where, are my britches and pants
That I bought in advance
Of the big town dance
If you stroll across them please, by chance
Will you please bring them here?
For if I had half the things I've lost
And I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
And where, oh where is my sporting vest
With the V-neck chest
And the pockets pressed
When I've had it on, I've looked my best
But I don't see it here
For if I had half the things I've lost
And I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
Oh why, oh why, are my knickers in a knot
Can't escape the thought
Getting all upsot
Mourning the loss of things I bought
That could be anywhere
Oh where, oh where, are my knee-length socks
With the tartan blocks
From the Classic Fox
I'd wear them out on the longest walks
But I don't have them here
For if I had half the things I've lost
And I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
And where, oh where, is my dapper tam
With the wool of lamb
Knit by dear Gram
She stitched it so patient and calm
But I can't see it here
For if I had half the things I've lost
And I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
Oh why, oh why, are my knickers in a knot
Can't escape the thought
Getting all upsot
Mourning the loss of things I bought
That could be anywhere
And where, oh where, is my tie of tweed
With the herringbone weave
And the bright pin bead
If you chance upon it, please, I plead
Will you come bring it here
For if I had half the things I've lost
And I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
And where, where is my raglan coat
With the little wee note
With the song I wrote
Good thing I learned it off by rote
Or I'd not sing this here
For if I had half the things I've lost
I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
Fell off my route
And that's the truth
I'd like to give them a bow and a toot
If I could find them here
For if I had half the things I've lost
And I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
Oh where, oh where, are my britches and pants
That I bought in advance
Of the big town dance
If you stroll across them please, by chance
Will you please bring them here?
For if I had half the things I've lost
And I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
And where, oh where is my sporting vest

And the pockets pressed
When I've had it on, I've looked my best
But I don't see it here
For if I had half the things I've lost
And I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
Oh why, oh why, are my knickers in a knot
Can't escape the thought
Getting all upsot
Mourning the loss of things I bought
That could be anywhere
Oh where, oh where, are my knee-length socks

Good thing I learned it off by rote
Or I'd not sing this here
For if I had half the things I've lost
I had half what half them cost
I'd have enough to have them tossed
And I wouldn't have a care
