K.Q ■ f m There zvas an old woman Lived tender a hill ; And if she's not gom y She lives there still. ICO Diddlty, diddlty, dumpty, The cat rati up the plum tree , Give her a plum, and down she'll cow , Diddlty, diddlty. dumpty WJre all jolly boys, and we're coming with a noise, Our stockings shall be made Of the finest silk, And our tails shall trail the ground. To market, to market, to buy a plum cake, Home again, home again, market is late ; To market, to market, to buy a plum bun, Home again, home again, market is done. K.» Elsie Marley has grown so fine, She won' I get up to serve the swine But lies in bed till eight or nine. And swely she does take her time. Daffy '-down-dilly has come up to town, In a yellow petticoat and a green gown. Jack Sprat could eat no fat. His wife could eat no lean ; And so between them both, They licked the platter clean. Lucy Locket, lost her pocket, Kitty Fisher found it ; Inhere was not a penny in it, But a ribbon round it. LK Bonny lass, pretty lass, wilt thou be mine ? Thou shalt not wash dishes, Nor yet serve the swine ; Thou shalt sit on ti cushion, and sew a fine seam, And thou shalt eat stiawberries, sugar, and cream J A dillar, a dollar, A ten o'clock scholar ; What makes you come so soon ? You used to come at ten o" 1 clocks But now you come at noon ! Little Betty Blue, Lost her holiday shoe. What will poor Betty do ? Why, give her another, To match the other, And then she will walk in two. K.O 33 Billy boy blue, come blow me your horn, The sheep 's in the meadow, the cow's in the com ; Is that the way you mind your sheep, Under the haycock fast asleep ! KtSL. 34 Girls and boys come out to play, The moon it shines as bright as day ; Leave your stepper, and leave your sleep, And come to your playmates in the street ; Come with a whoop, come with a call, Come with a good will, or come not at all ; Up the ladder and down the zuall, A halfpenny loaf will serve us all. 35 Here am /, little jumping Joan, When nobody 's with me, Pm always alone. 36 F~ l*A. Kock-a-bye babv, Thy cradle is green ; Father's a nobleman, Mother 's a queen. And Beltyi's a lady, And wears a gold ring ; And Johnny 's a drummer, And drums for the king. ... 38 Little Tom Tucker, He sang for his supper. What did he sing for ? Why, white bread and butter. How can I cut it without a knife ? How can I marry %vithout a wife f ^1 Little Miss Muffet, Sat on a tuffet, Eating some curds and whey ; There came a great spider, And sat down beside her, And frightened Miss Muffet away. kill'),, r i ^ Humpty Dtmipty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. m •See-Saw-Jack in the hedge, Which is the way to London Bridge ? s& 4& Little lad, little lad, Where wast thou born ? Far off in Lancashire, Under a thorn ; Where they sup sour milk From a rani's horn. 43 Little maid, little maid. Whither goest thou ? Dozwi in the meadow To milk my cozv. u» 45 -r My mother, and your mother. Went over the way ; Said my mother, to your mother, li I?s chop-a-nose day." 46 All around the green gravel, The grass grows so green, And all the pretty maids are Jit to be seen , Wash them in milk, Dress them in silk, And the first to go down shall be married. 47 One foot tip, the other foot down, That's the way to London town. 4 8 Georgie Peorgie, pudding and pie ', Kissed the girls and made them cry , When the girls begin to play, Georgie Peorgie runs away. 49 As Tommy Snooks, and Bessie Brooks Were walking out one Sunday ; Says Tommy S?iooks to Bessie Brooks, " 7 o- morrow — will be Monday." rF?
