Oh, who is so merry, so merry, heigh ho!

The Light-Hearted Fairy

Big Book of Nursery Rhymes. Edited by Walter Jerrold. Illustrated by Charles Robinson. 1920.

Oh, who is so merry, so merry, heigh ho!
As the light-hearted fairy, heigh ho, heigh ho?
  He dances and sings
  To the sound of his wings,
With a hey, and a heigh, and a ho!

Oh, who is so merry, so merry, heigh ho!
As the light-hearted fairy, heigh ho, heigh ho?
  His nectar he sips
  From a primrose's lips,
With a hey, and a heigh, and a ho!

Oh, who is so merry, so merry, heigh ho!
As the light-footed fairy, heigh ho, heigh ho?
  His night is the noon,
  And his sun is the moon,
With a hey, and a heigh, and a ho!
