As I was going to sell my eggs,
I met a man with bandy legs;
Bandy legs and crooked toes,
I tript up his heels, and he fell on his nose.
Yankey Doodle came to town,
How do you think they serv'd him?
One took his bag, another his scrip,
The quicker for to starve him.
There was an old woman had nothing,
And there came thieves to rob her;
When she cried out she made no noise,
But all the whole country heard her.
Pillycock, pillycock, sate on a hill:
If he's not gone—he sits there still.
Humpty-dumpty sate on a wall,
Humpti-dumpti had a great fall;
Threescore men and threescore more,
Cannot place Humpty-dumpty as he was before.
