Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey:
There came a great spider and sat down beside her,
And frighten’d Miss Muffet away.

To get her poor dog a bone,
But when she got there the cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

To fetch a pail of water;

And Jill came tumbling after.

A pocket full of rye;

Baked in a pie.

Who cut off their tales with a carving knife.

As three blinf mice?

And can't tell where to find them;

Eating a Christmas pie;

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall;
Down will come baby, and cradle, and all

With fleece as white as snow;

With pretty tings for thee!

And he had a little gun,
And his bullets were made of lead, lead, lead;

And he saw a little duck,
And he shot it right through the head, head, head.

To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,

On a very fine gander.

Who never did any harm,
But kill'd the mice in his father's barn.

In other men's ditches.

To get a little rabbit's skin
To wrap his Baby Bunting in.

For if I do, he'll be sure to cry.




SIMPLE SIMON.
SIMPLE SIMON met a pieman

" Indeed I have not any."

 Sat among the cinders,
Warming her pretty little toes .
Her mother came and caught her,
And whipped her little daughter,
For spoiling her nice new clothes.

How does your garden grow?
With cockle shells and silver bells
And cowslips all in a row.

Three men in a tub ;
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker ;
Turn 'em out, knaves all three!

She had so many children she didn't know what to do.

Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.




Here we go round the mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush,
Here we go round the mulberry bush,
On a cold and frosty morning.

Wash our hands, wash our hands,
This is the way we wash our hands
On a cold and frosty morning.




If I'd as much money as I could tell,
I never would cry, "Young lambs to sell,

Over the hills, and a great way off,
And the wind will blow my top-knot off.

A pocket full of posies.

This little pig cried " Wee, wee, wee !"
All the way home.

All on a summer's day;

And beat the Knave full sore ;
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And said he'd ne'er steal more.
