Little Tommy Tucker
Little Tommy Tucker
Sings for his supper.
What shall he eat?
White bread and butter.
How will
he cut it
Without e'er a knife?
How can he marry
Without e'er a wife?
Midi: Little Tommy Tucker
Tommy Tucker was a name referring to an orphan in
Europe. In those days, to survive, an orphan had to beg or do something so that people would want to give them something to eat. As far as social standing, an orphan had none, so the only mate likely to be found would be another orphan.
