COME dance a jig

To my Granny's pig,

With a raudy, rowdy, dowdy;
Come dance a jig

To my Granny's pig,

And pussy-cat shall crowdy.

CCCIII.

DOODLEDY, doodledy, doodledy, dan,
I'll have a piper to be my good man;
And if I get less meat, I shall get game,
Doodledy, doodledy, doodledy, dan.

CCCIV.

PUSSICAT, wussicat, with a white foot, When is your wedding? for I'll come to❜t. The beer's to brew, the bread's to bake. Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, don't be too late.

DING, dong, darrow,

The cat and the sparrow;

The little dog has burnt his tail,
And he shall be hang'd to-morrow.

LITTLE Dicky Dilver
Had a wife of silver,

He took a stick and broke her back,
And sold her to the miller;

The miller wouldn't have her,
So he threw her in the river.

CCCVII.

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,
Home again, home again, dancing a jig;
Ride to the market to buy a fat hog,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.

CCCVIII.

RUMPTY-iddity, row, row, row,

If I had a good supper, I could eat it now.

CCCIX.

ROUND about, round about,

Magotty-pie,

My father loves good ale,

And so do I.

FOURTEENTH CLASS.

LOVE AND MATRIMONY.

CCCX.

As I was going up Pippen-hill,

Pippen-hill was dirty,

There I met a pretty miss,
And she dropt me a curtsey.

Little miss, pretty miss,

Blessings light upon you! If I had half-a-crown a day, I'd spend it all on you.

CCCX1.

TOMMY TROT, a man of law,
Sold his bed and lay upon straw :
Sold the straw and slept on grass,
To buy his wife a looking-glass.

WE'RE all dry with drinking on't, We're all dry with drinking on't; The piper kiss'd the fiddler's wife, And I can't sleep for thinking on't.

CCCXIII.

"JOHN, come sell thy fiddle, And buy thy wife a gown."

"No, I'll not sell my fiddle, For ne'er a wife in town."

CCCXIV.

HERE comes a lusty wooer,
My a dildin, my a daldin :
Here comes a lusty wooer,
Lily bright and shine a'.

Pray, who do you woo,

My a dildin, my a daldin?
Pray, who do you woo,
Lily bright and shine a'?

For your fairest daughter,
My a dildin, my a daldin;
For your fairest daughter,

Lily bright and shine a'.

Then there she is for you,

My a dildin, my a daldin;
Then there she is for you,
Lily bright and shine a'.

CCCXV.

Up hill and down dale;
Butter is made in every vale;
And if that Nancy Cook
Is a good girl,

She shall have a spouse,
And make butter anon,
Before her old grandmother
Grows a young man.

CCCXVI.

JACK in the pulpit, out and in;
Sold his wife for a minikin pin.

CCCXVII.

DID you see my wife, did you see, did you see, Did you see my wife looking for me?

She wears a straw bonnet, with white ribands on it,

And dimity petticoats over her knee.
