As I was going up Pippin Hill

Pippin hill was dirty.

There I met a pretty miss,

And she dropped me a curtsy.

Boys and girls come out to play.

The moon doth shine as bright as day:

Come with a whoop, come with a call,

Come with a good will, or not at all.

Cuckoo, cherry tree

Come down & tell me

How many years

I have to live!

Ding, dong, bell,

Pussy's in the well.

Who put her in?

Naughty Johnny Green.

Who pulled her out?

Little Tommy Trout.

Little Tommy Trout.

Early to bed, and early to rise,

Is the way to be healthy, wealthy, and wise.

For every evil under the sun

There is a remedy, or there is none.

If there be one, try and find it;

If there be none, never mind it.

Great A, little A, Bouncing B,

The cat's in the cupboard.

And she can't see me.

Hark! hark! the dogs do bark,

The Beggars are coming to town.

Some in rags & some in jag's

And some in velvet gowns.

I had a little pony

They called it Dapple Gray,

I lent it to a lady

To ride a mile away.

She whipped it, she slashed it,

She drove it through the mire.

I will not lend my pony more,

For all the ladies' hire.

John Smith, fellow fine,

Can you shoe this horse o' mine?

Yes, indeed, and that I can

As well as any man!

There's a nail upon the tae, &c

To make the powny speel the brae;

There's a nail and there's a brod

—a horse weel shod.

King o' Katchem met a king

In a narrow lane;

Says this king to that king

“Where have you been?”

Oh, I've been a hunting

With my dog & my doe

Pray lend him to me,

That I may do so.

“There's the dog, TAKE the dog.”

“What's the dog's name?”

“I've told you already.”

“Pray tell me again.”

Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home,

Your house is a-fire, your children all gone,

All but one that lies under a stone;

Fly the home, ladybird, ere it be gone!

Multiplication is vexation,

Division is twice as bad;

The Rule of Three it puzzles me

And Fractions drive me mad!

Nievie, nievie, nicknack,

Which hand will ye tak'?

Tak' the right, or tak' the wrong,

I'll beguile ye, if I can.

Oh, Mother, I'm to be married

To Mr. Punchinello,

To Mr. Pun,

To Mr. Chin,

To Mr. Nel,

To Mr. Lo,

Mr. Pun, Mr. Chin, Mr. Nel, Mr. Lo

To Mr. Punchinello.

Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker's man,

Prick it and bake it as fast as you can.

Prick it, and bake it, and mark it with B,

And put it in the oven for baby and me.

Queen of Hearts,

She made some tarts,

All on a summer's day.

The Knave of Hearts,

He stole the tarts,

And took them all away.

Rain, rain,

Go to Spain,

And never come back again.

See, Saw, Margery Daw,

Sold her bed, and lay upon straw.

Three children sliding on the ice,

Upon a summer's day;

As it fell out they all fell in:

The rest they ran away.

Uphill spare me,

Downhill 'ware me,

On level ground spare me not,

And in the stable forget me not.

Valentine

The rose is red; the Violet's blue

The pink is sweet; & so are you.

“We'll go a-shooting,” says Robin to Bobbin;

“We'll go a-shooting,” says Richard to John.

“We'll go a-shooting,” says John all alone;

“We'll go a-shooting,” says every one.

Xmas gifts.

The first day of Xmas

My mother sent to me

A partridge in a pear tree.

Yule days.

The king sent his lady on the first Yule day,

A papingo-aye

Who learns my carol & carries it away?

Zoological gardens.

Where you shall go, too;

But it's through A B C that we get to the Zoo.
