In olden times, my bonnie boy,

These songs were sung by children too; And now, to give my darling joy,

These "Nursery Songs" are all for you.

NURSERY SONGS.

B C, tumble down D,

The cat's in the cupboard and she can't see.

CARRION crow sat upon an oak,

Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do,

Watching a tailor cutting out his cloak ;

Sing heigh ho! the carrion crow,
Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do.

Wife, wife! bring me my bow,
Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do,
That I
may shoot yon carrion crow;
Sing heigh ho! the carrion crow,
Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do.

The tailor he shot and missed his mark,
Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do;
And shot his own pig quite through
the heart;

Sing heigh ho! the carrion crow,
Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do,

Wife, wife! bring me brandy in a

spoon;

Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do, For our old pig has fall'n down in a

swoon,

Sing heigh ho! the carrion crow,
Fol de rol, de rol, de rol, de ri do.
