Three Wise Men of Gotham
Three wise men of Gotham
Went to sea in a bowl:
And if the bowl had been stronger,
My song would have been longer.
Jenny Wren fell sick
Jenny Wren fell sick,
Upon a merry time;
In came Robin Redbreast
And brought her sops and wine.
"Eat well of the sop, Jenny,
Drink well of the wine."
"Thank you, Robin, kindly,
You shall be mine."
Jenny she got well,
And stood upon her feet,
And told Robin plainly
She loved him not a bit.
Robin being angry,
Hopped upon a twig,
Saying, "Out upon you! Fie upon you,
Bold-faced jig!"
Sukey, you shall be my wife
"Sukey, you shall be my wife,
And I will tell you why:
I have got a little pig,
And you have got a sty;
I have got a dun cow,
And you can make good cheese,
Sukey, will you have me?
Say yes, if you please."
