BABY'S JOURNEYS

BABY'S JOURNEYS

Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see an old lady upon a white horse,
Rings on her fingers, and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.

This is the way the ladies ride;
Tri, tre, tre, tree,

Tri, tre, tre, tree!

This is the way the ladies ride,

Tri, tre, tre, tre, tri-tre-tre-tree!

This is the way the gentlemen ride;

Gallop-a-trot,

Gallop-a-trot!

This is the way the gentlemen ride,
Gallop-a-gallop-a-trot!

This is the way the farmers ride;

Hobbledy-hoy,

Hobbledy-hoy!

This is the way the farmers ride,
Hobbledy, hobbledy-hoy!

Ride, baby, ride,

Pretty baby shall ride,

And have a little puppy-dog tied to her side,
And a little pussy-cat tied to the other,
And away she shall ride

To see her grandmother,

To see her grandmother,

To see her grandmother in London town.

See-saw sacradown,

Which is the way to London town?
One foot up, the other foot down,
That is the way to London town.

To market, to market,

To buy a plum bun;
Home again, home again,
Market is done.

Dance, little baby, dance up high,
Never mind, baby, mother is by;
Crow and caper, caper and crow,
There, little baby, there you go;
