The Little Mother Goose

Hush-a-by, baby, on the treetopWhen the wind blows the cradle will rock

See saw, Margery Daw,Jenny shall have a new master

HUSH-a-bye, baby, on the tree top,

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock;

When the bough bends, the cradle will fall.

Down will come baby, cradle, and all.   CURRAHOO, curr dhoo, Love me, and I'll love you! [Imitate a Pigeon] WHEN the days begin to lengthen The cold begins to strengthen. CANTALOUPES! Cantaloupes! What is the price? Eight for a dollar, and all very nice[2]. PAT-A-CAKE, pat-a-cake, baker's man!Make me a cake as fast as you can:Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with T,And there will be enough for Baby and me. AS I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives, Every wife had seven sacks, Every sack had seven cats, Every cat had seven kits: Kits, cats, sacks, and wives, How many were there going to St. Ives?                                                  [One]

BYE, baby, bunting,Daddy's gone a-hunting,

To get a little rabbit skinTo wrap his baby bunting in.

AS Tommy Snooks and Bessy Brooks

Were walking out one Sunday,

Says Tommy Snooks to Bessy Brooks,

"To-morrow will be Monday." BOW-WOW-WOW, Whose dog art thou? Little Tom Tucker's dog, Bow-wow-wow. PEASE-porridge hot, Pease-porridge cold, Pease-porridge in the pot Nine days old. Spell me that in four letters. I will. T-H-A-T. RING the bell! Knock at the door! Lift up the latch! And walk in! RUB-A-DUB-DUB, Three men in a tub; And who do you think they be?                      The butcher, the baker, The candlestick-maker; Turn 'em out, knaves all three! PLEASE to remember The Fifth of November, Gunpowder, treason, and plot; I know no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. MY maid Mary she minds the dairy, While I go a-hoeing and mowing each morn; Gaily run the reel and the little spinning wheel, While I am singing and mowing my corn. POOR Dog Bright Ran off with all his might, Because the cat was after him— Poor Dog Bright! Poor Cat Fright Ran off with all her might, Because the dog was after her—                  Poor Cat Fright!   ALL of a row, Bend the bow, Shot at a pigeon, And killed a crow. THE cock doth crow, To let you know, If you be well, 'Tis time to rise. THE dove says, "Coo, coo, what shall I do? I can scarce maintain two." "Pooh! pooh!" says the wren; "I have got ten, And keep them all like gentlemen." THIS little pig went to market. This little pig stayed home. This little pig had roast meat. This little pig had none. This little pig went to the barn door And cried week, week, for more. THe King of France went up the hill With twenty thousand men; The King of France came down the hill, And ne'er went up again. LITTLE boy blue, come blow your horn; The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn. Where's the little boy that looks after the sheep? He's under the hay-cock, fast a-sleep. Will you wake him? No, not I; For if I do, he'll be sure to cry.   SEE saw, Margery Daw, Jenny shall have a new master; She shall have but a penny a-day, Because she can't work any faster. HERE stands a post,— Who put it there? A better man than you: Touch it if you dare? A DUCK and a drake, And a halfpenny cake, With a penny to pay the old baker. A hop and a scotch Is another notch, Slitherum, slatherum, take her. I'LL tell you a story, About John-a-Nory: And now my story's begun. I'll tell you another, About Jack and his brother, And now my story's done. TOSS up my darling, toss him up high, Don't let his head, though, hit the blue sky[10]. TRIP and go, heave and ho! Up and down, to and fro; From the town to the grove, Two and two, let us rove, A-maying, a-playing; Love hath no gainsaying! So merrily trip and go! So merrily trip and go! GREAT A, little A, This is pancake day; Toss the ball high, Throw the ball low, Those that come after May sing Heigh-ho! SING, sing!—What shall I sing? The cat's run away with the pudding-bag string!                          JACK Sprat Had a cat, It had but one ear; It went to buy butter When butter was dear[11]. MARGARET wrote a letter, Sealed it with her finger, Threw it in the dam For the dusty miller. Dusty was his coat, Dusty was the siller, Dusty was the kiss I'd from the dusty miller. If I had my pockets Full of gold and siller, I would give it all To my dusty miller. POLLY, Dolly, Kate and Molly, All are filled with pride and folly. Polly tattles, Dolly wriggles, Katy rattles, Molly giggles;       Whoe'er knew such constant rattling, Wriggling, giggling, noise, and tattling    WHEN I was taken from the fair body, They then cut off my head, And thus my shape was altered. It's I that make peace between King and ring, And many a true lover glad. All this I do, and ten times more, And more I could do still; But nothing can I do Without my guider's will. [A quill pen]    POLLY put the kettle on, Susy took it off; Aunt Jemima's little girl Has got the whooping cough. PHOEBE rode a nanny goat, Susy broke her leg, Father took his wedding coat And hung it on a peg.      THERE was an old woman Lived under a hill; She put a mouse in a bag, And sent it to the mill. The miller declar'd By the point of his knife, He never took toll Of a mouse in his life. DING, dong, bell, Pussy's in the well! Who put her in? Little Johnny Green; Who pulled her out, Big Tom Stout; What a naughty boy was that To try and drown poor pussy cat, Who never did any harm, And killed the mice in his father's barn. "JOHN, come sell thy fiddle, And buy thy wife a gown." "No, I'll not sell my fiddle, For ne'er a wife in town." AS I was going up Pippen Hill, Pippen Hill was dirty; There I met a pretty Miss, And she dropped me a curtsy. Little Miss, pretty Miss, Blessing light upon you; If I had half a crown a-day, I'd spend it all upon you. OVER the water, And under the water, And always with its head down. [Icicle]
