A Farmer went trotting upon his grey mare

A farmer went trotting upon his grey mare,
Bumpety, Bumpety, bump !
With his daughter behind so rosy and fair,
A raven cried, Croak ! and they went tumbling down,
Bumpety, bumpety, bump !
The mare broke her knees and the farmer his crown,
Lumpety, lumpety, lump !
The mischievous raven flew laughing away,
Bumpety, bumpety, bump !
And vowed he would serve them the same the next day,
Lumpety, lumpety, lump !

A kiss when I wake

A kiss when I wake in the morning,
A kiss when I go to bed,
A kiss when l burn my fingers,
A kiss when l bump my head.
A kiss when my bath begins,
A kiss when my bath is over,
My mamma is as full of kisses
As a nurse is full of pins.
A kiss when l pull her hair,
A kiss when l play with my rattle,
She covered me all over with kisses
The day l fell down stairs.
A kiss when l give her trouble,
A kiss when l give her joy;
There's nothing like mamma's kisses
To her own little boy.

A swarm of bees in May

A swarm of bees in May
Is worth a load of hay;
A swarm of bees in June
Is worth a silver spoon;
A swarm of bees in July
Is not worth a fly.

A Duck And A Drake

A duck and a drake,
And a nice barley cake,
With a penny to pay the old baker;
A hop and a scotch
Is another notch,
Slitherum, slitherum, take her!

A dimple on your cheek

A dimple on your cheek,
You are gentle and meek.
A dimple on your chin,
You've a devil within.

A Diller A Dollar

A diller, a dollar,
A ten o'clock scholar,
What makes you come so soon?
You used to come at ten o'clock,
But now you come at noon.

A Cock and Bull Story

The cock's on the housetop blowing his horn;
The bull's in the barn a-threshing of corn;
The maids in the meadows are making of hay;
The ducks in the river are swimming away.

A cat came fiddling out of a barn

A cat came fiddling out of a barn,
With a pair of bagpipes under her arm.
She could sing nothing but "fiddle dee dee",
The mouse has married the bumblebee.
Pipe, cat, dance, mouse,
We'll have a wedding at our good house.

A Boy's Thanksgiving Day

Over the river, and through the wood,
to Grandfather's house we go;
the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the wood,
to Grandfather's house away!
We would not stop for doll or top,
for 'tis Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river and through the wood,
when Grandmother sees us come,
She will say, "o, dear, the children are here,
bring a pie for every one."

Over the river and through the wood,
now Grandmother's cap I spy!
Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

A Big Shoe

Said little Sue
To little Pete,
"I can't see you,
For your big feet."

Said little Pete
To little Sue
"'Tis not my feet,
'Tis but my shoe."

A B C Tumble

A, B, C, tumble down D,
The cat's in the cupboard
And can't see me.
