1
Farmer Emmerich went into his barn
2
And found a cow suckling a serpent
3
And a brown ape clanking a heavy chain
4
Said Farmer Emmerich to the ape
5
Never ask me to come into this barn again
6
So Long
7
Farewell
8
So Long
9
Farmer Emmerich caught the serpent
10
And the brown ape in a cage
11
And took them into his house
12
He fed the snake a vat of milk
13
And when the ape rattled it's chain
14
He tossed the ape a mouse
15
So Long
16
Goodbye
17
Farewell
18
The villagers found out that Farmer Emmerich
19
Was nurturing a serpent
20
And descended upon his farm
21
All rabid in their blindness
22
They dragged the snake outside
23
Chopped it open with an axe
24
And the ground soaked
25
In the milk of human kindness
26
So Long
27
Farewell
28
So Long
29
But the brown ape escaped
30
And was heard to roam the ranges
31
Clanking it's heavy chain
32
Down in the valley it sang to it's friend
33
Whom he may never see again
