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.
See-saw, Jack-a-daw,
Johnny shall have a new master;
Johnny shall have but a penny a day,
Because he can work no faster.
See-saw, Margery Daw
Sold her bed, and laid upon straw;
Was not she a dirty slut,
To sell her bed and lie in the dirt?
See-saw, sacaradown,
Which is the way to London town?
One foot up, the other foot down,
That is the way to London town.
Shoe the horse, shoe the colt,
Shoe the wild mare;
Here a nail, there a nail,
Yet she goes bare.
