Cry, Baby Buntin
Daddy's gone a- hunting
to fetch a little rabbit skin
to wrap the Baby Buntin in.
GEORGIE PORGIE
Georgie Porgie puddin' and pie
kissed the girls and made them cry;
when the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away
HARK, HARK
Hark, hark the dogs do bark,
the beggars are coming to town;
some in rags, and some in jags,
and one in a velvet gown.
HIGGLETY,PIGGLETY
Higglety pigglety Higglety pigglety my black hen,
She lays eggs for gentlemen;
Gentlemen come every day
To see what my black hen doth lay.
I LOVE LITTLE PUSSY
I love little pussy,
her coat is so warm,
and if I don't hurt her she'll do me no harm.
So I'll not pull her tail nor drive her away,
but pussy and I very gently will play.
JACK AND JILL
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water,
Jack fell down and broke his crown
and Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got and home
did trot as fast as he could caper,
to old Dame Dob who patched his nob
with vinegar and brown paper.
OLD MOTHER HUBBARD
Old mother Hubbard went to the cupboard,
to fetch her poor dog a bone,
but when she got there the cupboard
was bare and so the poor dog had none.
She went to the baker's to buy him some bread,
but when she came back the poor dog was dead.
She went to the undertaker's to buy him a coffin,
but when she came back the poor dog was laughing.
She took a clean dish to get him some tripe,
but when she came back he was smoking a pipe.
She went to the alehouse to get him some beer,
but when she came back the dog sat in a chair.
She went to the tavern for white wine and red,
but when she came back the dog stood on his head.
She went to the fruiterer's to buy him some fruit,
but when she came back he was playing the flute.
She went to the tailor's to buy him a coat,
but when she came back he was riding a goat.
She went to the hatter's to buy him a hat,
but when she came back he was feeding the cat.
She went to the barber's to buy him a wig,
but when she came back he was dancing a jig.
She went to the cobbler's to buy him some shoes,
but when she came back he was reading the news.
She went to the seamstress to buy him some linen,
but when she came back the dog was a-spinning.
She went to the hosier's to buy him some hose,
but when she came back he was dressed in his clothes.
The dame made a curtsy, the dog made a bow,
the dame said "your servant", the dog said "bow wow".
MARCH WINDS AND OTHER RAINS
March winds and April
showers bring forth May flowers.
Red sky at night,
Shepherd's delight;
Red sky at morning,
Shepherd's warning
Rain, rain, go away,
Little Johnny wants to play;
Rain, rain, go to Spain,
never show your face again.
Rain before seven, fine before eleven.
