Rock-a-bye, baby, thy cradle is green;
Father's a nobleman, mother's a queen;
And Betty's a lady, and wears a gold ring;
And Johnny's a drummer, and drums for the king.
To market, to market,
To buy a plum bun;
Home again, come again,
Market is done.
Hickup, hickup, go away!
Come again another day;
Hickup, hickup, when I bake,
I'll give to you a butter-cake.
Hickup, snicup,
Rise up, right up,
Three drops in the cup
Are good for the hiccup.
Swan swam over the sea—
Swim, swan, swim,
Swan swam back again,
Well swam swan.
