It happened one day as Bo-peep did stray
Unto a meadow hard by;
There she espied their tails side by side,
All hung on a tree to dry.
Little boy blue, come blow me your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where is the little boy tending the sheep?
Under the haycock fast asleep!
Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb,
And pull'd out a plum,
And said "What a good boy am I!"
Little Jack Jingle,
He used to live single:
But when he got tired of this kind of life,
He left off being single and lived with his wife.
Little Jenny Wren fell sick upon a time,
When in came Robin Redbreast and brought her sops and wine,
"Eat, Jenny, drink, Jenny, all shall be thine!"
"Thank you, Robin, kindly, you shall be mine."
Then Jenny Wren got better, and stood upon her feet,
And said to Robin Redbreast, "I love thee not a bit."
Then Robin he was angry, and flew upon a pole,
"Hoot upon thee! fie upon thee! ungrateful soul."
