gs,
I met a man with bandy legs,
Bandy legs and crooked toes,
I tripp'd up his heels, and he fell on his nose.

Tell-tale, tit!
Your tongue shall be slit,
And all the dogs in the town
Shall have a little bit!

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating of curds and whey;
There came a little spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frighten'd Miss Muffet away.

Robin and Richard were two pretty men,
They lay a-bed till the clock struck ten;
Then up starts Robin and looks at the sky,
"Oh! oh! brother Richard, the sun's very high;
You go before with bottle and bag,
And I'll follow after on little Jack Nag."

"Come, let's to bed," says Sleepy-head;
"Let's stay awhile," says Slow:
"Put on the pot," says Greedy-sot,
"We'll sup before we go."

Robin the Bobbin, the big-bellied Ben,
He ate more meat than fourscore men;
He ate a cow, he ate a calf,
He ate a butcher and a half;
He ate a church, he ate a steeple,
He ate the priest and all the people!

Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Stole a pig and away he ran.
The pig was eat, and Tom was beat,
And Tom ran crying down the street.

Shoe the horse, shoe the colt,
Shoe the wild mare;
Here a nail, there a nail,
Yet she goes bare.

Goosey goosey gander,
Whither dost thou wander?
Up stairs, down stairs,
In my lady's chamber:
There I met an old man
Who would not say his prayers;
I took him by the left leg,
And threw him down the stairs.

There was an old woman went up in a basket,
Seventy times as high as the moon;
What she did there I could not but ask it,
For in her hand she carried a broom.
"Old woman, old woman, old woman," said I,
"Whither, oh whither, oh whither, so high?"
"To sweep the cobwebs from the sky,
And I shall be back again by and by."

Pease-pudding hot,
Pease-pudding cold,
Pease-pudding in the pot,
Nine days old.
Some like it hot,
Some like it cold,
Some like it in the pot,
Nine days old.

Little Nan Etticoat,
In a white petticoat,
And a red nose;
The longer she stands
The shorter she grows.

Little Jack Jingle,
He used to live single:
But when he got tired of this kind of life,
He left off being single, and got him a wife.
