The Adventures of the Little Woman, Her Dog and the Pedlar

THE
ADVENTURES
OF THE
LITTLE WOMAN,
HER DOG AND THE PEDLAR.

There was a little woman,
As I have heard tell,
She went to market,
Her Eggs for to sell.

She went to Market,
All on a Market day,
And she fell asleep,
On the King’s highway.

By came a Pedlar,
His name it was Stout,
And he cut her petticoats,
All round about.

He cut her Petticoats
Up to her knees,
Which made the little woman
Began for to freeze.
