Mother Goose. 
 
 Bow, wow, wow, 
 Whose dorr art thou ? 
 
 is 
 
 Little Tom Tinker's dog — 
 Whose door art thou ? 
 
 Three wise men of Gotham 
 Went to sea in a bowl ; 
 And if the howl had been stronges 
 My song had been longer.

 Hark ! hark ! the dogs do bara, 
 
 The beggars have come to town; 
 Some in rags, and some in tags, 
 And some in velvet gowns. 
 
 Tom, Tom, the piper's son, 
 Stole a pig 9 and awaj he run ; 
 
 The pig was eat, 
 
 And Tom was beat, 
 And Tcm ran crying down tho 
 street. 
 
I had a little hobby horse, 
 And it was dapple gray ; 
 His head was made of oat-straw> 
 
 His tail was made of clay. 
 He could amble, he could trot, 
 He could carry a mustard-pot 
 Through the town of Woodstock, 
 Hey, boys, hey ! 
 
 i\ain, rain, go away, 
 Come again, April day ; 
 Little Johnny wants to plaj 
 In the meadow on the hay«

 The little black dog ran round 
 
 the house, 
 And set the bull a roarino-, 
 And drove the monkey to the 
 
 boat, 
 
 Who set the oars a rowing, 
 And scar'd the cock upon the rock, 
 Who cracked his throat with 
 crowing. 
 
Ding dong bell, the cat's in the 
 
 well. 
 
 Who put her in ? Little Johnny 
 
 Green. 
 
 Who pulled her out? Great 
 Jack Stout. 
 What a naughty boy was that, 
 To drown poor pussy cat, 
 Who never did him any harm, 
 And killed the mice in his fa- 
 ther's ham

 Little lad, little lad, 
 Where were you born ? 
 Far off inLancaster, under a thom, 
 I'm the stoutest boy you ever 
 did see, 
 
 I can carry a pockot-book bigger 
 than me 
 
 How many miles to Babylon * 
 Threescore miles and ten. 
 Can I get there by candle-light f 
 Yes, and back again
