LITTLE BOY BLUE
Little Boy Blue,
Come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn;
But where is the boy
Who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack,
Fast asleep.
Will you wake him?
No, not I,
For if I do,
He's sure to cry.
BAA, BAA, BLACK SHEEP
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full:
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as show;
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
That was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb in school.
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear.
Why does the lamb love Mary so?
The eager children cry;
Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,
The teacher did reply.
PRETTY MAID
Pretty maid, pretty maid,
Where have you been?
Gathering roses
To give to the queen.
Pretty maid, pretty maid,
What gave she you?
She gave me a diamond,
As big as my shoe.
HUMPTY DUMPTY
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
JACK HORNER
Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner,
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said, What a good boy am I!
JACK BE NIMBLE
Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jump over
The candlestick.
WEE WILLIE WINKIE
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his nighthown,
Rapping at the window, crying through the lock,
Are the children all in bed, for now it's eight o'clock?
OLD KING COLE
Old King Cole
Was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three.
Every fiddler, he had a fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he;
Twee tweedle dee, tweedle dee, went the fiddlers.
Oh, there's none so rare,
As can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three!
