My maid Mary she minds the dairy,
While I go a-hoeing and mowing each morn;
Gaily run the reel and the little spinning-wheel,
Whilst I am singing and mowing my corn.


ROBIN AND WREN

The Robin and the Wren
Fought about the parritch-pan;
And ere the Robin got a spoon,
The Wren had ate the parritch down.


BUY ME A MILKING-PAIL

BUY me a milking-pail,
Mother, mother."
"Betsy's gone a-milking,
Beautiful daughter."
