Rock
- a - bye baby
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 Johny's a drummer
And drums for the king.
See
- saw, sacradown
See
- saw, sacradown,
Which is the way to London
Town?
One foot up and one foot
down,
That is the way to London
Town.
Six
little mice
Six
little mice sat down to
spin;
Pussy passed by and she peeped
in.
What are you doing, my little
men?
Weaving coats for gentlemen.
Shall I come in and cut off
your threads ?
No, no, Mistress Pussy, you'd
bite off our heads.
Oh no I'll not; I'll help
you to spin.
That may be so, but you don't
come in. in.
Bonny
Lass
Bonny
lass, pretty lass, wilt
thou be mine ?
Thou shalt not wash dishes,
Nor yet serve the swine;
Thou shall sit on a cushion,
and sew a fine seam
And thou shall eat strawberries,
sugar and cream.
School
is over
School
is over. Oh, what fun !
Lessons finished - play begun,
Who'll run fastest, you or
I ?
Who'll laugh loudest ? Let
us try.

Saint
Dunstan
Saint
Dunstan, as the story goes,
Once pulled the devil by
the nose
With red hot tongs, which
made him roar,
That could be heard a mile
or more.
What
shall I see ?
See,
see ! What shall I see,
A horses head
Where its tail should be.
Sleep
baby sleep
Sleep
baby sleep
Our cottage value is deep;
The little lamb is on the
green,
With wooly fleece so soft
and clean,
Sleep baby sleep.
Sleep baby sleep,
Down where the woodbines
creep;
Be always like the lamb so
mild,
A kind and sweet and gentle
child.
Sleep baby sleep.
Draw
a pail of water
Draw
a pail of water,
For my lady's daughter;
My father's a King and my
mother's a Queen,
My two little sisters are
dressed in green,
Stamping grass and parsley,
Marigold leaves and daisies,
One rush ! Two rush !
Pray thee fine lady, come
under my bush.
Man
in the moon
Indeed
it is true, it is perfectly
true;
Believe me, indeed, I am
playing no tricks;
An old man and his dog bide
up there in the moon,
And he's cross as a bundle
of sticks.
