HUSH-a-bye, baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock;
When the bough bends, the cradle will fall.
Down will come baby, cradle, and all.
CURRAHOO, curr dhoo,
Love me, and I'll love you!
[Imitate a Pigeon]
WHEN the days begin to lengthen
The cold begins to strengthen.
CANTALOUPES! Cantaloupes! What is the price?
Eight for a dollar, and all very nice.
PAT-A-CAKE, pat-a-cake, baker's man!
Make me a cake as fast as you can:
Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with T,
And there will be enough for Baby and me.
AS I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kits:
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?
[One]

BYE, baby, bunting,
Daddy's gone a-hunting,
To get a little rabbit skin
To wrap his baby bunting in.

AS Tommy Snooks and Bessy Brooks
Were walking out one Sunday,
Says Tommy Snooks to Bessy Brooks,
"To-morrow will be Monday."

BOW-WOW-WOW,
Whose dog art thou?
Little Tom Tucker's dog,
Bow-wow-wow.
