Is John Smith within? Yes, that he is.
Can he set a shoe? Ay, marry, two; Here a nail, there a nail, tick, tack too. See, see. What shall I see? A horse's head where his tail should be. (A Cherry) As I went through the garden gap, Who should I meet but Dick Red-cap! A stick in his hand, a stone in his throat, If you'll tell me this riddle, I'll give you a groat. Bless you, bless you, bonny bee: Say, When will your wedding be? If it be to-morrow day, Take your wings and fly away. I like little Pussy, 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 Pussy and I very gently will play. Go to bed first, a golden purse. Go to bed second, a golden pheasant; Go to bed third, a golden bird. Goosey, Goosey, gander, whither shall I wander? Upstairs, and downstairs, and in my lady's chamber. |
