Daffy-Down-Dilly
AFFY-DOWN-DILLY has come up to town,
In a yellow petticoat, and a green gown.
A little cock sparrow
A little cock sparrow sat on a green tree,
And he cherruped, he cherruped, so merry was he;
A little cock sparrow sat on a green tree,
And he cherruped, he cherruped, so merry was he.
A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow,
Determined to shoot this little cock sparrow,
[Pg 76] A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow
Determined to shoot this little cock sparrow.
"This little cock sparrow shall make me a stew,
And his giblets shall make me a little pie too."
"Oh, no!" said the sparrow, "I won't make a stew."
So he flapped his wings and away he flew!
Charley, Charley
HARLEY Charley, stole the barley
Out of the baker's shop;
The baker came out, and gave him a clout,
And made poor Charley hop.
