  1. There are several versions:

    two verses:

    Tom Tom The Piper's Son.

    Stole a pig and away he run,

    The pig was eat,

    And Tom was beat.

    And Tom went crying down the street.



    Tom Tom The Piper's Son.

    He learned to play when he was young.

    But all the tune that he could play,

    Was "Over the hills and far away."

    Nursery Rhyme & History

    Origin of Tom Tom the pipers son in Scotland?

    The words of Tom Tom the pipers son were not based on a person in Scottish history (pipers son). The title 'piper's son' referred to any piper in the English army or navy.   This nonsense rhyme for children had an obvious moral! The words used in the phrase 'went roaring down the street' are unusual and convey the strength of the beating. The origin of "Tom Tom the Piper's son" date back to the 18th century.
