The first that came was a fair maid [bad word] on her locks 
she said she saw Berayna amongst the geese and ducks 
with a whoop whoop whoop and a heighho along the narrow stretch 
with a rat tat tat and a tippy tippy top and 
down the rolling bow wow wow with a toodle oodle oodle and a bugle sound 
Through the woods he ran Billy boy then through the woods he ran. 

The next that came was a gentleman a walkin down the street 
He said he saw Berayna carrying a piece of meat 
with a whoop whoop whoop and a heighho along the narrow stretch 
with a rat tat tat and a tippy tippy top and 
down the rolling bow wow wow with a toodle oodle oodle and a bugle sound 
Through the woods he ran Billy boy then through the woods he ran. 

The next [bad word] was a merchant counting out his goods 
He said he saw Berayna sitting in the woods 
with a whoop whoop whoop and a heighho along the narrow stretch

Through the woods he ran Billy boy then through the woods he ran. 

The next [bad word] was a preacher thinking on his sins

Through the woods he ran Billy boy then through the woods he ran. 

The last [bad word] was a soldier marching home from war 
He said he saw Berayna wallowing like a boar.
with a whoop whoop whoop and a heighho along the narrow stretch 
with a rat tat tat and a tippy tippy top and 
down the rolling bow wow wow with a toodle oodle oodle and a bugle sound 
Through the woods he ran Billy boy then through the woods he ran.
