Bake your pies, bake your pies;
Dame, get up and bake your pies,
On Christmas-day in the morning.

Maidens lie, maidens lie?
Dame, what makes your maidens lie,
On Christmas-day in the morning?

3. Dame, what makes your ducks to die,
Ducks to die, ducks to die?
Dame, what makes your ducks to die,
On Christmas-day in the morning?

4. Their wings are cut, they cannot fly,
Cannot fly, cannot fly;
Their wings are cut, they cannot fly,
On Christmas-day in the morning.
