| One, two, three, four, five, I caught a hare alive; Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, And let it go again. |
Hark! hark! the dogs do bark,
Beggars are coming to town,
Some in jags, and some in rags,
And some in velvet gown.
Four little mice sat down to spin,
Pussy pass’d by and she peep’d in;
“What are you at, my fine little men?”
“Making coats for gentlemen.”
“Shall I come in, and cut off your thread?”
“No! no! Miss Pussy, you’ll bite off our head.”
To market, to market, to buy a plum bun.
Home again, home again, market is done.
There was a piper who had a cow,
But he had no hay to give her;
So he took his pipes and played a tune,
Consider, old cow, consider!
| There was an old woman Who lived in a shoe, She had so many children She didn’t know what to do; She gave them some broth Without any bread, She whipp’d them all soundly And sent them to bed. |
Lady-bird, lady-bird,
Fly away home,
Your house is on fire,
Your children will burn.
Rain, rain,
Go away,
Come again
Another day,
Little Harry
Wants to play.
The man in the wilderness asked me
How many strawberries grew in the sea?
I answered him, as I thought good,
As many red herrings as grew in the wood.
Hiccory, diccory, dock,
The mouse ran up the clock;
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hiccory, diccory, dock.
