THE OLD WOMAN THAT WAS TOSS'D IN A BLANKET.
There was an old woman toss'd in a blanket
Seventeen times as high as the moon;
But where she was going no mortal could tell,
For under her arm she carry'd a broom.
Old woman, old woman, old woman, said I,
Whither, ah whither, ah whither so high?
To sweep the cobwebs from the sky,
And I'll be with you by and by.
THE OLD MAN AND THE OAK.
A NORTH-COUNTRY SONG.
Says t' auld man tit oak tree,
Young and lusty was I when I kenn'd thee;
I was young and lusty, I was fair and clear,
Young and lusty was I mony a lang year,
But sair fail'd am I, sair fail'd now,
Sair fail'd am I sen kenn'd thou.
A SOLEMN DIRGE.
Ding dong bell,
The cat is in the well.
Who put her in?
Little Johnny Green.
