A Cat Came Fiddling

April 2, 2020 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

A Cat Came Fiddling

A cat came fiddling out of the barn,
With a pair of bagpipes under her arm.
She could sing nothing but “Fiddle-de-dee,
The mouse has married the bumble-bee.”
Pipe, cat!
Dance, mouse!
We’ll have a wedding at our good house.

The Man in the Wilderness

The Man in the Wilderness

The man in the wilderness asked me
How many strawberries grew in the sea.
I answered him as I thought good,
As many red herrings as grew in the wood.

The Hobby Horse

The Hobby Horse

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.

A Was an Apple Pie

A was an apple pie,
B bit it,
C cut it,
D dealt it,
E eat it,
F fought for it,
G got it,
H had it,
I inspected it,
J jumped for it,
K kept it,
L longed for it,
M mourned for it,
N nodded at it,
O opened it,
P peeked in it,
Q quartered it,
R ran for it,
S stole it,
T took it,
U upset it,
V viewed it,
W wanted it,
X, Y, Z,
All wished for a piece in hand.

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got, and home did trot
As fast as he could caper;
He went to bed, to mend his head,
With vinegar and brown paper.

Two Little Dickie Birds

Two little dickie birds sitting on a wall,
One named Peter, one named Paul.
Fly away Peter, fly away Paul,
Come back Peter, come back Paul.

Coffee and Tea

Coffee and Tea

Molly, my sister, and I fell out,
And what do you think it was all about?
She loved coffee and I loved tea,
And that was the reason we couldn’t agree.

Tom, Tom, the Piper’s Son

Tom, Tom the piper’s son,
Stole a pig and away did run.
The pig was eat, and Tom was beat,
And Tom went roaring down the street.

Variation of Tom, Tom, the Piper’s Son

Tom, Tom, the piper’s son,
Stole a pig and away he run.
Tom run here,
Tom run there.
Tom run through the village square.

See-Saw, Margery Daw

See-saw, Margery Daw,
Johnny shall have a new master;
He shall have but a penny a day,
Because he can’t work any faster.
