Part 8 (2/2)

If your heels are nimble and light, You may get there by candle-light.

I'LL TELL YOU A STORY

I'll tell you a story About Jack-a-Nory: And now my story's begun.

I'll tell you another About his brother: And now my story is done.

A STRANGE OLD WOMAN

There was an old woman, and what do you think?

She lived upon nothing but victuals and drink; Victuals and drink were the chief of her diet, And yet this old woman could never be quiet.

SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP

Sleep, baby, sleep, Our cottage vale is deep: The little lamb is on the green, With woolly fleece so soft and clean-- Sleep, baby, sleep.

Sleep, baby, sleep, Down where the woodbines creep; Be always like the lamb so mild, A kind, and sweet, and gentle child.

Sleep, baby, sleep.

CRY, BABY

Cry, baby, cry, Put your finger in your eye, And tell your mother it wasn't I.

BAA, BAA, BLACK SHEEP

Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool?

Yes, marry, have I, Three bags full;

One for my master, One for my dame, But none for the little boy Who cries in the lane.

LITTLE FRED

When little Fred went to bed, He always said his prayers;

He kissed mamma, and then papa, And straightway went upstairs.

THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE

Hey, diddle, diddle!

The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon.

DOCTOR FELL

I do not like thee, Doctor Fell; The reason why I cannot tell; But this I know, and know full well, I do not like thee, Doctor Fell!

A COUNTING-OUT RHYME
