—Deptford, Kent (Miss Chase).
Old Roger is dead and gone to his grave,
H’m ha! gone to his grave.
They planted an apple tree over his head,
H’m ha! over his head.
The apples were ripe and ready to fall,
H’m ha! ready to fall.
There came an old woman and picked them all up,
H’m ha! picked them all up.
Old Roger jumped up and gave her a knock,
H’m ha! gave her a knock.
Which made the old woman go hippity hop,
H’m ha! hippity hop!
—Bath, from a Nursemaid (A. B. Gomme).
