Master I Have and I am His Man
Master I Have and I am His Man
Nursery Rhyme
Master I have, and I am his man,
Gallop a dreary dun*;
Master I have, and I am his man,
And I'll get a wife as fast as I can;
With a heighty gaily gamberally,
Higgledy piggledy, niggledy**, niggledy,
Gallop a dreary dun.
Notes
*Dun is a name for a horse.
**Niggle means to trot about.
