A Little Something ...
The Emperor of Ch'in Shih Huang-ti
Built a wall
From the hills to the sea.
He built it wide,
He built it stout,
To keep his subjects in
And the Tartars out.
The Emperor of Ch'in.
Built a wall
From the hills to the sea.
He built it wide,
He built it stout,
To keep his subjects in
And the Tartars out.
The Emperor of Ch'in.
Meng Jiangnu, one sad day
From her own dear home
A thousand leagues away
To the wall did come.
Weary and worn
She wept and she cried:
"Where is my dear love Buried inside?"
She wept and she cried
And her tears did fall,
Till down, down tumbled
That great big wall.
From her own dear home
A thousand leagues away
To the wall did come.
Weary and worn
She wept and she cried:
"Where is my dear love Buried inside?"
She wept and she cried
And her tears did fall,
Till down, down tumbled
That great big wall.
