And all the night they hunted, One said it was the moon; LITTLE BROWN BETTY. LITTLE brown Betty lived at the "Golden Can," Till little Brown Betty, she hopped away. THE OLD MAN OF TOBAGO. THERE was an old man of Tobago, His physician said this: "To a leg, sir, of mutton you may go." MY LITTLE MOPPET WHAT AN OLD MAN DID. THERE was an old man in a velvet coat, 15 THE OLD MAN OF DERBY. THERE was an old man of Derby, MY LITTLE MOPPET. I HAD a little moppet, I put it in my pocket, And fed it with corn and hay; There came a proud beggar, And swore he would have her, And stole my little moppet away. Now had these children been at home, Or sliding on dry ground, Ten thousand pounds to one penny, They had not all been drowned. You, parents, that have children dear, If you will have them safe abroad, Pray keep them safe at home. 1 0 OLD MOTHER HUBBARD. LD Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard, To get her poor dog a bone; But when she got there And SO the poor dog had none. She went to the baker's, To buy him some bread; But when she came back, The poor dog was dead. She went to the joiner's, The dog was laughing. She took a clean dish, To buy him some tripe; For white wine and red; The dog stood on his head. She went to the hatter's, He was feeding the cat. She went to the barber's, And when she came back, He was dancing a jig. |
