The sweetest notes he always sung,
Which much delighted Mary;
And near the cage she'd ever sit,
To hear her own canary.

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 girl
That cries in the lane.

HUMPTY DUMPTY.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Could not set Humpty Dumpty up again.

SIMPLE SIMON.

Simple Simon met a pieman
Going to the fair;

Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Let me taste your ware."

Says the pieman unto Simple Simon,
"Show me first your penny."
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Indeed I have not any."

Simple Simon went tɔ look
If plums grew on a thistle;
He pricked his fingers very much,
Which made poor Simon whistle.

He went to catch a dicky bird,

And thought he could not fail;
Because he'd got a little salt
To put upon his tail.

He went to shoot a wild duck,
But wild duck flew away.
Says Simon, "I can't hit him,

Because he will not stay."
