Freckles was his name, he always used to get the blame

 For every broken window pane and how they yanked him

You know they spanked him

 At school he'd tease the girls, he always used to pull their curls

 The way that boy would carry on, it was a shame

 And when the teacher found a tack on her chair

Though a hundred children were there

Everybody said Freckles, he always got the blame

Freckles was his name...

And when the cat had kittens up in the hay

One was black and seven were grey

Everybody said Freckles, he always got the blame
