O, where is my little dog gone? Young lambs to sell Three blind mice Little Polly Flinders There came to my window Over the hills and far away Where are you going to, my pretty maid? London Bridge has broken down I had a little nut tree Polly put the kettle on
OH! WHERE IS MY LITTLE DOG GONE?
Oh! where is my little dog gone? Oh where, oh where can he be? With his ears cut short and his tail cut long, Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
YOUNG LAMBS TO SELL
Young Lambs to sell! Young Lambs to sell! Young Lambs to sell! Young Lambs to sell! If I'd as much money as I could tell I would not come here with young Lambs to sell. Two for a penny, eight for a groat, As fine young Lambs as ever were bought.
THREE BLIND MICE
Three blind mice--see how they run! They all ran after the farmer's wife, Who cut off their tails with the carving knife, Did you ever hear such a tale in your life As three blind mice?
LITTLE POLLY FLINDERS
Little Polly Flinders Sat among the cinders Warming her pretty little toes. Her mother came and caught her, And smacked her little daughter For spoiling her nice new clothes.
THERE CAME TO MY WINDOW
There came to my window one morning in Spring A sweet little Robin; she came there to sing. The tune that she sang, it was prettier far Than any I heard on the flute or guitar.
Her wings she was spreading to soar far away, Then resting a moment seemed sweetly to say: "Oh happy, how happy the world seems to be! Awake, Little Girl and be happy with me!"
But just as she finished her beautiful song, A thoughtless young man with a gun came along. He killed and he carried my sweet bird away, She no more will sing at the dawn of the day.
OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY
Tom he was a piper's son, He learnt to play when he was young; But all the tune that he could play Was--"Over the hills and far away." Over the hills and a great way off The wind shall blow my top-knot off!
Tom with his pipe made such a noise That he pleased both the girls and boys; And they stopped to hear him play "Over the hills and far away." Over the hills and a great way off The wind shall blow my top-knot off.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO, MY PRETTY MAID"
"Where are you going to, my pretty maid?" "Where are you going to, my pretty maid?" "I'm going a-milking, Sir," she said, "Sir," she said, "Sir," she said, "I'm going a-milking, Sir," she said.
"May I go with you, my pretty maid?" "You're kindly welcome, Sir," she said, etc.
"What is your father, my pretty maid?" "My father's a farmer, Sir," she said, etc.
"What is your fortune, my pretty maid?" "My face is my fortune, Sir," she said, etc.
"Then I can't marry you, my pretty maid," "Nobody asked you, Sir," she said, etc.
LONDON BRIDGE IS BROKEN DOWN
I HAD A LITTLE NUT TREE
I had a little Nut Tree, Nothing would it bear But a Silver Nutmeg And a Golden Pear.
The King of Spain's daughter Came to visit me, And all for the sake of My little Nut Tree.
POLLY PUT THE KETTLE ON
Polly, put the kettle on. Polly, put the kettle on. Polly, put the kettle on. We'll all have tea.
Sukey, take it off again. Sukey, take it off again. Sukey, take it off again. They've all gone away.
