OBIN HOOD, Robin Hood,
Is in the forest wood!
Little John, little John,
He to the town is gone.

Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
Is telling of his beads,
All in the green wood,
Among the grassy weeds.

Little John, Little John,
If he comes no more,
Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
He will fret full sore!

OBIN the Bobbin, the big-bellied

Ben,

He ate more meat than four

score men;

He ate a cow, he ate a calf,
He ate a butcher and a half;

He ate a church, he ate a steeple,
He ate the priest and all the people!
A cow and a calf,

An ox and a half,

A church and a steeple,
And all the good people,

And yet he complain'd that he'd not had enough.

OCK-A-BYE, baby, upon the

tree top,

When the wind blows, the cradle

will rock;

When the bough breaks the

cradle will fall,

Down will come cradle and baby and all.

R

OCK-A-BYE, baby, thy cradle is

green;

Father's a nobleman, mother's

a queen;

And Betty's a lady, and wears a gold ring;

And Johnny's a drummer, and drums for the king.

EE-SAW, Jack-a-daw,

Johnny shall have a new master;
Johnny shall have but a penny

a day,

Because he can't work any faster.

อ.

EE-SAW, Margery Daw

Sold her bed, and lay upon straw;

Was not she a naughty thing,

To sell her bed and lie on the ground?

NURSERY SONGS.

EE-SAW, sacaradown,

Which is the way to London
town?

One foot up, the other foot down,
That is the way to London town.

HOE the horse, shoe the colt,
Shoe the wild mare;

Here a nail, there a nail,
Yet she goes bare.

ING! sing! what shall I sing? The cat's run away with the pudding-bag string.

ING a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye,

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

And was not that a dainty dish to set before the king?

The king was in the parlour, counting out his money;

The queen was in the pantry, eating bread and honey;

The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes;

There came a little blackbird and pecked off her nose.
