Ride Away, Ride Away
Ride away, Ride away,
Johnny shall ride,
And he shall have pussycat
Tied to one side.
And he shall have little dog
Tied to the other;
And Johnny shall ride
To see his grandmother.
Nursery Rhymes, Songs, and Fingerplays for Kids
Ride away, Ride away,
Johnny shall ride,
And he shall have pussycat
Tied to one side.
And he shall have little dog
Tied to the other;
And Johnny shall ride
To see his grandmother.
Tommy’s tears and Mary’s fears
Will make them old before their years.
Birds of a feather flock together,
And so will pigs and swine.
Rats and mice have their choice,
And so will I have mine.
The man in the wilderness asked me
How many strawberries grew in the sea.
I answered him as I thought good,
As many herrings as grew in the wood.
Come when you’re called,
Do what you’re bid,
Shut the door after you,
And never be chid.
Little Nanny Etticoat
In a white petticoat,
And a red nose;
The longer she stands
The shorter she grows.
I like little kitty, her coat is so warm.
And if I don’t hurt her she’ll do me no harm.
So I’ll not pull her tail, nor drive her away,
But kitty and I very gently will play.
One misty, moisty, morning,
When cloudy was the weather;
I chanced to meet an old man
Clothed all in leather.
He began to compliment,
And I began to grin,
How do you do, and how do you do?
And how do you do again?
Monday’s child is fair of face,
Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child works hard for a living;
But the child that’s born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.
I had a little hobby horse,
And it was dapple gray.
Its head was made of pea-straw,
Its tail was made of hay.
I sold it to an old woman
For a copper groat;
And I’ll not sing my song again
Without another coat.
