Cock Robin's Courting

The Girl in the Lane

The girl in the lane, that couldn't speak plain,
Cried gobble, gobble, gobble;

The man on the hill, that couldn't stand still,
Went hobble, hobble, hobble.

Three Men in a Tub

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub;
And who do you think they be?

The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker;
Turn 'em out, knaves all three!

Little Miss Muffet

LITTLE Miss Muffet,
She sat on a tuffet,
Eating of curds and whey;
There came a big spider,
And sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

The Boy and the Owl

There was a little boy went into a field,
And lay down on some hay;

An owl came out and flew about,
And the little boy ran away.

Cock Robin got up early,
At the break of day,
And went to Jenny's window
To sing a roundelay.

He sang Cock Robin's love
To the little Jenny Wren,
And when he got unto the end,
Then he began again.
