And John Block made the stock,
And John Wyming made the priming,
And John Brammer made the rammer,

But John Ball shot them all.

And John Crowder made the powder,
And John Block made the stock,
And John Wyming made the priming,
And John Brammer made the rammer,
And John Scott made the shot,
But John Ball shot them all.

But John Ball shot them all.
