| [Jack and Jill went up the hill,] To draw a pail of water; Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after. [There was an old man,] And he had a calf, And that’s half; He took him out of the stall, And put him on the wall, And that’s all. |
| [There was a little man,] And he had a little gun, And his bullets were made of lead, He shot John Sprig Through the middle of his wig, And knocked it right off his head. |

Goosey, goosey, gander, where dost thou wander? Up stairs and down stairs, and in my lady’schamber; There I met an old man that would not say his prayers, I took him by his hind legs and threw him down stairs. | |
| [The girl in the lane,] That couldn’t speak plain, Cried, Gobble, gobble, gobble; The man on the hill, That couldn’t stand still, Went hobble, hobble, hobble. |
| [Robert Barns, fellow fine,] Can you shoe this horse of mine, So that I may cut a shine? Yes, good sir, and that I can, As well as any other man; There a nail, and here a prod, And now, good sir, your horse is shod. |
