A defiant little exchange in verse: Jack refuses to hand over his fiddle to anyone, come what may. Its call-and-response shape makes it fun to perform with two voices, one wheedling and one stubborn.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
"Jacky, come and give me thy fiddle,
If ever thou mean to thrive."
"Nay, I'll not give my fiddle
To any man alive.
"If I should give my fiddle,
They'll think that I've gone mad;
For many a joyous day
My fiddle and I have had."
