WHY THE GREEN FOREST HAS NO KING
“Little Black Cricket you fiddle all day; Fiddle and fiddle while hidden away. When I wake up with the stars shining bright. I’m sure, little Cricket, you fiddle all night. Little Black Cricket pray why do you hide? Music like yours is a matter for pride. Is it because you are fearful you may. Find someone taking your fiddle away? Little Black Cricket we really should know. What is your fiddle and what is your bow; How you can steadily use them without. Having your bow and your fiddle wear out.”
