"Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son" is a popular English language nursery rhyme. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19621. ==Lyrics== Modern versions of the rhyme include: :Tom, Tom, the piper's son, :Stole a pig, and away did run; :The pig was eat :And Tom was beat, :And Tom went crying ("roaring", or "howling", in some versions ) :Down the street.〔I. Opie and P. Opie, ''The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes'' (Oxford University Press, 1951, 2nd edn., 1997), pp. 408-11.〕 The 'pig' mentioned in the song is almost certainly not a live animal but rather a kind of pastry, often made with an apple filling, smaller than a pie.〔 Another version of the rhyme is: Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Stole a pig, and away he run. Tom run here, Tom run there, Tom run through the village square. This rhyme is often conflated with a separate and longer rhyme: :Tom, he was a piper's son, :He learnt to play when he was young, :And all the tune that he could play :Was 'over the hills and far away'; :Over the hills and a great way off, :The wind shall blow my top-knot off. :Tom with his pipe made such a noise, :That he pleased both the girls and boys, :They all stopped to hear him play, :'Over the hills and far away'. :Tom with his pipe did play with such skill :That those who heard him could never keep still; :As soon as he played they began for to dance, :Even the pigs on their hind legs would after him prance. :As Dolly was milking her cow one day, :Tom took his pipe and began to play; :So Dolly and the cow danced 'The Cheshire Round', :Till the pail was broken and the milk ran on the ground. :He met old Dame Trot with a basket of eggs, :He used his pipe and she used her legs; :She danced about till the eggs were all broke, :She began for to fret, but he laughed at the joke. :Tom saw a cross fellow was beating an ass, :Heavy laden with pots, pans, dishes, and glass; :He took out his pipe and he played them a tune, :And the poor donkey's load was lightened full soon.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
