If you mourn for Dickie, I'll tell you right now
Over hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed
He was an old man and he had but one cow.
He ran for his life just to get to his cow
Oh, oh wicked
Wicked Dickie done died
Oh, oh wicked Dickie done died
If you mourn for Dickie, I'll tell you right now
He was an old man and he had but one cow.
He ran for his life just to get to his cow
Over hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed
When the old man heard that his cow she was dead
Over hedges and ditches and fields you see he had fled
And he ran for his life just to get to his own
Over hedges and ditches and fields that were mown
Now I sit down and eat my dried meal
But I have no milk what to put in my pail
Now old wicked Dickie is dead
Now I have no butter to sop with my bread
Oh, oh wicked
Oh, oh wicked Dickie done died
Wicked Dickie done died
If you mourn for Dickie, I'll tell you right now
He was an old man and he had but one cow.
Over hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed
He ran for his life just to get to his cow
