SING song! merry go round,

Here we go up to the moon, oh! Little Johnnie a penny has found, And so we'll sing a tune, oh! What shall I buy,

Johnnie did cry,

With the penny I've found,

So bright and round?

What shall you buy?

A kite that will fly

Up to the moon, all through the sky!

But if, when it gets there,

It should stay in the air;

Or the man in the moon

Should open his door,

And take it in with his long, long paw;-

We should sing to another tune, oh!

TO market, to market,
то

To buy a plum bun:

Home again, home again,
Market is done.

Her back stood up, and her bones they were bare; he, haw, hum.

John Cook was riding up Shooter's bank he, haw, hum.

And there his nag did kick and prank; he, haw, hum.

John Cook was riding up Shooter's hill; he, haw, hum;

His mare fell down, and she made her will; he, haw, hum.

The bridle and saddle were laid on the shelf;

he, haw, hum;

If you want any more, you may sing it yourself; he, haw, hum.

WILLY boy, Willy boy, where are you going?

I will go with you, if that I may.

I'm going to the meadow to see them a mowing, I'm going to help them to make the hay.

HEN I was a little boy
I lived by myself;

And all the bread and cheese I got

I put upon the shelf.

The rats and the mice

They made such a strife,

I was forced to go to London-town

To buy me a wife.

The streets were so broad,

And the lanes were so narrow,

I was forced to bring my wife home
In a wheel-barrow.

The wheel-barrow broke,

And my wife had a fall;
Down came wheel-barrow,

Wife and all.

NOW the spring is coming on,

Now the snow and ice are gone,

Come, my little snowdrop root,
Will you not begin to shoot?

Ah! I see your little head
Peeping on my flower-bed,
Looking all so green and gay
On this fine and pleasant day.

For the mild south wind doth blow,
And hath melted all the snow;
And the sun shines out so warm,

You need not fear another storm.

So, your pretty flower shew,

And your petals white undo,
Then you'll hang your modest head

Down upon my flower-bed.
