Ir's once I courted as pretty a lass,
As ever your eyes did see;

But now she's come to such a pass,
She never will do for me.

She invited me to her own house,
Where oft I'd been before,

And she tumbled me into the hog-tub,
And I'll never go there any more.

OVER the water, and over the lea,
And over the water to Charley.
Charley loves good ale and wine,
And Charley loves good brandy,
And Charley loves a pretty girl,
As sweet as sugar-candy.

JACK SPRAT could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean;
And so, betwixt them both, you see,
They lick'd the platter clean.

LITTLE Dicky Dilver

Had a wife of silver.

He took a stick and broke her back,
And sold her to the miller;
The miller wouldn't have her,
So he threw her in the river.

ONE a penny, two a penny, hot cross-buns;

If your daughters do not like them, give them to

your sons.

But if you should have none of these pretty little elves,

You cannot do better than to eat them yourselves.

I HAD a little dog, and his name was Blue Bell,

I

gave him some work and he did it very well; I sent him up stairs to pick up a pin,

He stepped in the coal-scuttle up to the chin;
I sent him to the garden to pick some sage,
He tumbled down and fell in a rage;

I sent him to the cellar, to draw a pot of beer,"
He came up again and said there was none there.

PAT-A-CAKE, pat-a-cake, baker's man!

So I will, master, as fast as I can :
Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with T,
Put in the oven for Tommy and me.

SEE, saw, Margery Daw,

Little Jackey shall have a new master; Little Jackey shall have but a penny a day, Because he can't work any faster.

HUSH a bye, baby, on the tree top,

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock; When the bough bends, the cradle will fall, Down will come baby, bough, cradle, and all.
