[graphic]

THERE was an old woman toss'd up in a basket,
Nineteen times as high as the moon ;
Where she was going I couldn't but ask it,
For in her hand she carried a broom.

Old woman, old woman, old woman, quoth 1, O whither, O whither, O whither so high? To brush the cobwebs off the sky!

Shall I go with thee? Ay, by and by.

"ROBERT BARNS, fellow fine,
Can you shoe this horse of mine?"
"Yes, good sir, that I can,

As well as any other man:

There's a nail, and there's a prod,

And now, good sir, your horse is shod."

I WOULD, if I could;

If I couldn't, how could I?

I couldn't without I could, could I?
Could you without you could, could ye?

Could ye, could ye?

You couldn't without you could, could

ye?

SING a song of sixpence,
A bag full of rye;
Four-and-twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie;

When the pie was open'd,
The birds began to sing;
Was not that a dainty dish
To set before the king?

The king was in his counting-house
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour
Eating bread and honey;
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes,
There came a little blackbird,
And snapt off her nose.

HEY, my kitten, my kitten,

And hey, my kitten, my deary; Such a sweet pet as this

Was neither far nor neary.

Here we go up, up, up,

And here we go down, down, downy; And here we go backwards and forwards, And here we go round, round, roundy.

Rigadoon, rigadoon, now let him fly.
Sit upon mother's foot, jump him up high.

A LITTLE boy went into a barn,
And lay down on some hay;
An owl came out, and flew about,
And the little boy ran away.

SING jigmijole, the pudding-bowl,
The table and the frame;
My master he did cudgel me
For kissing of my dame.
