THE OLD MAN
|
There was an old man
In a velvet coat,
He kissed a maid
And gave her a groat.
The groat it was crack’d
And would not go,--
Ah, old man, do you serve me so?

A COUNTING-OUT RHYME
|
Hickery, dickery, 6 and 7,
Alabone, Crackabone, 10 and 11,
Spin, spun, muskidun,
Twiddle ‘em, twaddle ‘em, 21.

HOT BOILED BEANS
|
Ladies and gentlemen come to supper--
Hot boiled beans and very good butter.

T’OTHER LITTLE TUNE
|
I won’t be my father’s Jack,
I won’t be my father’s Jill;
I will be the fiddler’s wife,
And have music when I will.
T’other little tune,
T’other little tune,
Prithee, Love, play me
T’other little tune.
