One Misty Moisty Morning
Margery Daw
SEE-SAW, Margery Daw,
Jacky shall have a new master.
He shall have but a penny a day,
Because he can't work any faster.
Nonsense
We are all in the dumps,
For diamonds are trumps,
The kittens are gone to St. Paul's,
The babies are bit,
The moon's in a fit,
And the houses are built without walls.
Another Falling Out
MY little old man and I fell out;
I'll tell you what 't was all about:
I had money and he had none,
And that's the way the noise begun.
Little Boy Blue
Little Boy Blue, come, blow up your horn;
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where's the little boy that looks after the sheep?
Under the haystack, fast asleep.
Little Tom Tucker
Little Tom Tucker sings for his supper.
What shall he eat? White bread and butter.
How will he cut it without e'er a knife?
How will he be married without e'er a wife?
Old Woman, Old Woman
OLD woman, old woman, shall we go a-shearing?"
Speak a little louder, sir, I'm very thick of hearing."
"Old woman, old woman, shall I kiss you dearly?"
"Thank you, kind sir, I hear you very clearly."
Up Hill and Down Dale
Up hill and down dale;
Butter is made in every vale;
And if that Nancy Cook
Is a good girl,
She shall have a spouse,
And make butter anon,
Before her old grandmother
Grows a young man.
Lucy Locket
Lucy Locket
Lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher
Found it;
Nothing in it,
Nothing in it,
But the binding
Round it.
Fortune-Telling by Daisy Petals
He loves me, he don't!
He'll have me, he won't!
He would if he could,
But he can't, so he don't!
Baby Bunting
BABY, baby bunting,
Father's gone a-hunting,
Mother's gone a-milking,
Sister's gone a-silking,
Brother's gone to buy a skin
To wrap the baby bunting in.
The Mouse Ran Up the Clock
Dickory,
Dickory,
Dock!
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Dickory,
Dickory,
Dock!
One misty, moisty morning, when cloudy was the weather,
There I met an old man clothed all in leather;
He began to compliment and I began to grin,
How do you do? how do you do? how do you do again?
