There was an old woman, her name it was Peg;
Her head was of wood, and she wore a cork leg.

A little brown mouse
Jumped into the house,
And stole it all away.

Little Miss Donnet
Wears a huge bonnet;
And hoops half as wide
As the mouth of the Clyde.

Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John,
Went to bed with his stockings on;
One shoe off, and one shoe on,

Who was morn, noon and night in a hurry;
Called her husband a fool,
Drove the children to school,

So bad he could not learn a letter;
