OH! WHERE IS MY LITTLE DOG GONE?
Oh! where is my little dog gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short and his tail cut long,
Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
YOUNG LAMBS TO SELL
Young Lambs to sell! Young Lambs to sell!
Young Lambs to sell! Young Lambs to sell!
If I’d as much money as I could tell
I would not come here with young Lambs to sell.
Two for a penny, eight for a groat,
As fine young Lambs as ever were bought.
THREE BLIND MICE
Three blind mice—see how they run!
They all ran after the farmer’s wife,
Who cut off their tails with the carving knife,
Did you ever hear such a tale in your life
As three blind mice?
LITTLE POLLY FLINDERS
Little Polly Flinders
Sat among the cinders
Warming her pretty little toes.
Her mother came and caught her,
And smacked her little daughter
For spoiling her nice new clothes.
