SONG SET TO FIVE FINGERS.

This little pig went to market;
This little pig staid at home;
This little pig had roast meat;
This little pig had none;

This little pig cried "Wee, wee,
I can't find my way home."

DIDDLE, DIDDLE, DUMPLING.

Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John
Went to bed with his stockings on;
One shoe off, the other shoe on,

Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John.

HEY! DIDDLE, DIDDLE.

Hey! diddle, diddle,

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon;

The little dog laugh'd

To see such craft,

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

MISTRESS MARY, QUITE CONTRARY.
Mistress Mary, quite contrary,

Pray, how does your garden grow?" "With silver bells and cockle-shells

And pretty maids all in a row."

Cushey cow bonny,

let down thy milk, And I will give thee

a gown of silk;

A gown

of silk and

a silver tee,

If thou wilt let down

thy milk to me.

THE OLD WOMAN WHO

LIVED IN A SHOE.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, She had so many children she didn't know what

to do;

She gave them some broth without any bread, She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

THERE WAS AN OLD MAN.

There was an old man,
And he had a calf,

And that's half;

He took him from the stall,
And put him on the wall;
And that's all.

RIDE A COCK-HORSE.

Ride a cock-horse to Banbury-cross,
To see what Tommy can buy:

A penny white loaf, a penny white cake,
And a two-penny apple-pie.

PAT-A-CAKE.

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,

And put in the oven for Tommy and me."
