Two sticks and an apple,
Say the bells at Whitechapel.
Old Father Baldpate,
Say the slow bells at Aldgate.
You owe me ten shillings,
Say the bells at St. Helen's.
When will you pay me?
Say the bells at Old Bailey.
When I shall grow rich,
Say the bells at Shoreditch.
Pray, when will that be?
Say the bells at Stepney.
I am sure I don't know,
Says the great bell at Bow.
THE GAY LADY THAT WENT TO CHURCH.
There was a lady all skin and bone;
Sure such a lady was never known:
It happen'd upon a certain day,
This lady went to church to pray.
