No Christmas For My Children

No Christmas for my children,
No husband for my bed,
No money for tomorrow,
No place to lay my head,

No tree with mounds of presents,
No ornaments or lights,
No smiles on Christmas morning,
No feast on Christmas night,

No toys to ease the boredom
Of hours before closed doors,
No family celebrations,
No trips to crowded stores,

No fireplace, no Santa,
No games aglow with friends,
No fire but feeble fury
As Christmas slowly ends.

For me I have no pity,
My sorrow stronger proves,
Because for my sweet children
I've nothing but my love.

Says little Robin Redbreast, "Catch me if you can!"

Dobbin's Friend

Dobbin has a little friend,
Spotted white and sable;
Every day she goes to him,
In his lonely stable.
Not a mite of dread has she,
Not a thought of danger,
Lightly runs between his hoofs,
Jumps upon his manger,
Lays her soft warm cheek to his,
Purrs her meek "Good-morning!"
Gives the flies that hover near
Such a look of warning.

Now l lay me down to sleep

Now l lay me down to sleep,
I pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep.
If l should die before l wake,
I pray thee, Lord, my soul to take.

Doctor Bell

Doctor Bell fell down the well
And broke his collar bone.
Doctors should attend the sick
And leave the well alone.

Molly Malone

In Dublin's fair city,
Where girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone.
As she pushed her wheel barrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!"

Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!"

Now she was a fishmonger,
And sure was no wonder,
For so were her mother and father before.
And they each wheeled their barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!"

Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

She died of a fever,
And nothing could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive alive oh!"

Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"
"Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

Five Brown Teddies

Five brown teddies sitting on a wall.
Five brown teddies sitting on a wall.
And if one brown teddy should accidently fall,
There'd be four brown teddies sitting on a wall.
Then:
a) Four brown teddies sitting on a wall...............
b) Three brown teddies sitting on a wall.............
c) Two brown teddies sitting on a wall..................
d) One brown teddy sitting on a wall......................
e) And if one brown teddy should accidently fall
There'd be no brown teddies sitting there at all!

Doctor Foster

Doctor Foster went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain;
He stepped in a puddle,
Right up to his middle,
And never went there again.

You Are My Sunshine

The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried;

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.

I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day;

You told me once, dear
You really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And love another
You have shattered all my dreams;

Zoom Zoom Zoom

Zoom, zoom, zoom,
We're going to the moon.
Zoom, zoom, zoom,
We'll get there very soon.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
Blast off!

Yankee Doodle

Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.

Yankee doodle, keep it up
Yankee doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy

There was Captain Washington
Upon a slapping stallion
A-giving orders to his men
I guess there was a million.

And then the feathers on his hat
They looked so' tarnal fin-a
I wanted pockily to get
To give to my Jemima.

And then we saw a swamping gun
Large as a log of maple
Upon a deuced little cart
A load for father's cattle.

And every time they shoot it off
It takes a horn of powder
It makes a noise like father's gun
Only a nation louder.

I went as nigh to one myself
As' Siah's underpinning
And father went as nigh agin
I thought the deuce was in him.

We saw a little barrel, too
The heads were made of leather
They knocked upon it with little clubs
And called the folks together.

And there they'd fife away like fun
And play on cornstalk fiddles
And some had ribbons red as blood
All bound around their middles.

The troopers, too, would gallop up
And fire right in our faces
It scared me almost to death
To see them run such races.

Uncle Sam came there to change
Some pancakes and some onions
For' lasses cake to carry home
To give his wife and young ones.

But I can't tell half I see
They kept up such a smother
So I took my hat off, made a bow
And scampered home to mother.

Cousin Simon grew so bold
I thought he would have cocked it
It scared me so I streaked it off
And hung by father's pocket.

And there I saw a pumpkin shell
As big as mother's basin
And every time they touched it off
They scampered like the nation.

Walking Through The Jungle

Walking through the jungle,
Walking through the jungle,
What do you see?.
What do you see?.
Thought l heard a noise.
Shh, Shh, Shh,
What could it be?.
What could it be?.

Oh well, l thought it was a (snake),
ssss, ssss,
Thought it was a (snake),
ssss, ssss,
Thought it was a (snake),
ssss, ssss,
Looking for his tea.
Looking for his tea.

Tap Tap Tap

One little finger,
One little finger,
One little finger,
Tap, tap, tap.

Point it to the ceiling,
Point it to the floor,
And lay it in your lap.

Sailing

Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main.
For many a stormy wind shall blow
E'er Jack comes home again.

Sailing, sailing over the bounding main.

Rain On The Green Grass

Rain on the green grass;
Rain on the tree;
Rain on the housetop,
But not on me!

Pat-a-Cake

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Pat it and prick it and mark it with 'B',
And put it in the oven for Baby and me.

O, Hush Thee My Baby

Oh, hush thee, my baby,
Thy sire was a knight,
Thy mother a lady
Both lovely and bright;
The woods and the glens from
The towers which we see,
They are all belonging,
Dear baby, to thee.

O, fear not the bugle,
Though loudly it blows,
It calls but the warders
That guard thy repose;
Their bows would be bended,
Their blades would be red,
Ere the step of a foeman
Draws near to thy bed.

O, hush thee, my baby,
The time will soon come
When thy sleep shall be broken
By trumpet and drum;
Then hush thee, my darling,
Take rest while you may,
For strife comes with manhood
And waking with day.

New Year

A year to be glad in,
And not to be sad in;
To gain in, to give in,
A happy new year.

A new year for trying,
And never for sighing,
A new year to live in,
Oh! hold it most dear!

Mairzy Doats

I know a ditty nutty as a fruitcake
Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon
Some call it pretty, others call it crazy
But they all sing this tune:

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
Yes! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,
a little bit jumbled and jivey
Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy"

Oh! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you-oo?
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

Mademoiselle went down to the Well

Mademoiselle
Went down to the well,
Combed her hair,
And brushed it well,
Then picked up her basket and
Vanished!

Let the Sunshine In

My mummy told me something
A little girl should know,
And it's all about the devil
And I learned to hate him so.
She say's he causes trouble
If you let him in your room;
And he'll never ever leave you
If your heart is filled with gloom.

So let the sunshine in.
Face it with a grin.
Smilers never loose
And frowners never win,
So let the sunshine in.
Face it with a grin.
Open up your heart
And let the sunshine in.

If I forget to say my prayers
The devil wears a grin,
But he feels so awful, awful
When the light comes shining in.
So if you are unhappy
Just stop listening to him.
Just open up your heart
And let the sunshine in.

So let the sunshine in.
Face it with a grin.
Smilers never lose
And frowners never win
So let the sunshine in.
Face it with a grin,
Open up your heart
And let the sunshine in.

Open up your heart
And let the sunshine in.

Lazy Mary

Lazy Mary will you get up,

No, no mother I wont get up,

No, no mother I wont get up,
I wont get up today.

Oh, dear Mary, you must get up,
You must get up, you must get up.
Oh, dear Mary, you must get up,
You must get up today.

Yes dear mother, I will get up,
I will get up, I will get up.
Yes dear mother I will get up,
I will get up today.

Lavender's Blue, Dilly Dilly

When l am King, Dilly, Dilly,

'Twas my own heart, Dilly, Dilly,
That told me so.

Last Night The Stork Came Calling

Last night the stork came calling
And there beneath its wing.
Lay sleeping oh so sweetly
The tiniest little thing.

From babyland so far away
Beside a silver sea,
Was brought a special treasure
As a gift to you and me.

Land of My Fathers

The land of my fathers is dear unto me
The land of the poets, the land of the free
Her patriots and heroes, her warriors so brave
For freedom their life's blood they gave.

Wales! Wales!
Pledged am I to Wales
Whilst seas surround
This land so proud
Oh, long may our old tongue remain.

Ladybird, Ladybird.

All except one, and that's little Ann.
And she has crept under the warming pan.

Knees Up Mother Brown

here was a girl from France,
Who didn't know how to dance;
The only thing that she could do,
was "Knees up Mother Brown"

Oh, knees up mother brown,
knees up mother brown,
Knees up, knees up
Never let the breeze up,
knees up mother brown.

Hopping on one foot,
Hopping on one foot,
Hopping, hopping,
Never Stopping,
Hopping on one foot.

Oh, knees up mother brown,
knees up mother brown,
Knees up, knees up
Never let the breeze up,
knees up mother brown.

Twirling 'round and 'round,
Twirling 'round and 'round,
Twirling, twirling - Always swirling
Twirling 'round and 'round.

Oh, knees up mother brown,
knees up mother brown,
Knees up, knees up
Never let the breeze up,
knees up mother brown.

As fast as he could caper;
Went to bed to mend his head,
With vinegar and brown paper.

With bubbles in his throat.

Bubble, Bubble, Bubble,

I had a little Nut Tree

I had a little nut tree and nothing would it bear,
But a silver nutmeg and a golden pear.
The king of Spain's daughter came to visit me,
And all for the sake of my little nut tree.

But all the birds of the air couldn't catch me.
I had a little nut tree and nothing would it bear,
But a silver nutmeg and a golden pear.

I had a little hen

I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen.
She washed me the dishes, and kept the house clean;

She sat by the fire and told many a fine tale.

I Had a Little Cherry Stone

And put it in the ground,

And soon became a tree.

And ate them for my tea.

With Grandma on her scooter.

Good morning, merry sunshine,
How did you wake so soon?
You chased away the little stars,
And shone away the moon!
I saw you go to sleep last night
Before I ceased my play.
How did you get back overhead
To shine on me today?

I did not go to sleep, dear child,
I just went round to see
The little children of the world
Who wait and watch for me.
I shine upon the little birds
And flowers on my way,
And then I come back overhead
to shine on you today.

Eight Big Fingers

Eight big fingers standing up tall,
Two little ears to hear mummy call,
One little nose that I can blow,
Ten little toes all in a row.
Two short thumbs that wriggle up and down,
Two little feet to stand on the ground.
Hands to clap and eyes to see,
Oh, what fun just to be me!

Eencey Weencey Spider

Eencey Weencey spider
Climbed up the water spout;
Down came the rain
And washed poor Eencey out;
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain;
And the Eencey Weencey spider
Climbed up the spout again.

The Easter Bunny's feet,
Go hop, hop, hop.
While his big pink ears,
Go flop, flop, flop.
He is rushing on his way,
To bring our eggs on Easter Day.
With a hop, flop, hop, flop, hop.

Early One Morning

Early one morning,
Just as the sun was rising,
I heard a maiden sing
In the valley below.

O, don't deceive me,
O, never leave me,
How could you use
A poor maiden so?

Remember the vows,
That you made to your Mary,
Remember the bower
Where you vowed to be true.

O, don't deceive me,
O, never leave me,
How could you use
A poor maiden so?

Thus sang the poor maiden,
Her sorrows bewailing,
Thus sang the poor maid
In the valley below.

O, don't deceive me,
O, never leave me,
How could you use
A poor maiden so?

How could you use
A poor maiden so?

For my lady's daughter;
Her father's a king and her mother's a queen,
Her two little sisters are dressed in green,
Stamping grass and parsley,
Marigold-leaves and daises
One rush, two rush!
Pray thee, fine lady, come under my bush.

Dust if you Must

Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture or write a letter,
Or bake a cake, or plant a seed,
Or ponder the difference between want and need.

Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
With rivers to swim and mountains to climb,
Music to hear and books to read,
Friends to cherish and a life to lead.

Dust if you must but the world's out there,
The sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair.
A flurry of snow, a shower of rain -
This day will not come back again.

Dust if you must, but bear this in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go, as go you must,
You yourself will make more dust!

Go this way and that?
Go this way and that way,
And this way and that way,
Did you ever see a laddie
Go this way and that?

And killed the mice
In his father's barn.

Dapple Gray

I had a little Pony, his name was Dapple Gray,
I lent him to a lady to ride a mile away.

She rode him through the mire.

And look at the stars
That shine on the sea!

With two little fishes
Far down in the deep;
And two little frogs
Cry "Neap, neap, neap,"
I see a dear baby
That should be asleep.

Come Lasses and Lads

Trip it up and down.

Trip it to the men
And every girl did trip it, trip it,
Trip it to the men.

"Goodnight!" says Paul to John.
"Goodnight!" says Sue to her sweetheart, Hugh,
"Goodnight!" says everyone.

Some loitered on the way
And bound themselves, by kisses twelve,
To meet the next holiday.
And bound themselves, by kisses twelve,
To meet the next holiday.

Christmas Eve

Oh! Oh! Look at the snow,
Over the garden way.
So deep and so white,
It has fallen all night;
We cannot go out to-day!

So we'll have a good game with Daddy,
Warm in the cosy house,
And then when the twilight gathers,
We'll talk of old Santa Claus.

We'll sit by the flames together
And hear how they roar and sing,
And picture the old man coming,
And wonder what he will bring.

We never shall hear his footsteps
for the snow will hush his tread,
But he'll come to us just as ever
If the stockings are by the bed.

And he'll bring us the prettiest presents,
Just as he used to do,
For he never forgets the children
As long as they trust him true!

Children Learn What They Live

If a child lives with criticism he learns to condem.
If a child lives with hostility he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement he learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness he learns justice.
If a child lives with security he learns to live with faith.
If a child lives with approval he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship he learns to find love in the world.

The moon it shines as bright as day.
Leave your supper and leave your sleep
And come with your playfellows into the street;
Come with a whoop and come with a call,

Up the ladder and down the wall,
A halfpenny loaf will serve us all.

Blue-Tail Fly

When I was young I used to wait
On master and hand him his plate,
Pass him the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the blue-tail fly.

Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care,
My master's gone away.

When he would ride in the afternoon,
I'd follow him with my hickory broom.
The pony being rather shy -
When bitten by the blue-tail fly.

One day he rode around the farm.
Flies so numerous that they did swarm.
One chanced to bite him on the thigh,
The devil take the blue-tail fly

Well the pony jumped, he start, he pitch,
He threw my master in the ditch.
He died and the jury wondered why,
The verdict was the blue-tail fly

Now he lies beneath the Simmon tree,
His epitaph is there to see
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie,
The victim of the blue-tail fly."

And bring us a loaf in the morn.

Blow the Wind Southerly

Blow the wind southerly
Southerly, southerly,
Blow the wind south o'er
The bonnie blue sea.
Blow the wind southerly
Southerly, southerly,
Blow bonnie breeze
My true love to me.

They told me last night
There were ships in the offing
And I hurried down
To the deep rolling sea.
But my eye could not see it,
Wherever might be it
The bark that is bearing
My lover to me.

Is it not sweet
To hear the breeze singing,
As lightly it comes
O'er the deep rolling sea?
But sweet and endearing
By far 'tis when steering
The bark of my true love
Back safely to me.

Blow the Man Down

As I was walking down Paradise Street,
Way aye blow the man down;
A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet,
Give me some time to blow the man down!

She was round in the counter and bluff in the bow,
Way aye blow the man down;
So I took in all sail and cried "Way enough now"
Give me some time to blow the man down!

So I tailed her my flipper and took her in tow,
Way aye blow the man down;
And yardarm to yardarm away we did go,
Give me some time to blow the man down!

But soon as that packet was clear of the bar,
Way aye blow the man down;
The mate knocked me down with the end of the spar,
Give me some time to blow the man down!

So I give you fair warning before we belay,
Way aye blow the man down;
Don't ever take head of what pretty girls say,
Give me some time to blow the man down!

Give me some time to blow the man down!

Bless You, Bless You, Bonnie Bee

Bless you, bless you, bonnie Bee!
Say, when will my wedding be?
If it be tomorrow day,
Take your wings and fly away.
Fly away east or fly away west,
And show me where he lives who loves me best!

Black Velvet Band

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds
You'd think she was queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band.

In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprenticed to trade I was bound
And many an hour's sweet happiness
I spent in that neat little town.
Till bad misfortune came o'er me
That caused me to stray from the land
Far away from my friends and relations
To follow the black velvet band.

Well, I was out strolling one evening
Not meaning to go very far
When I met with a pretty young damsel
Who was selling her trade in the bar.
When I watch, she took from a customer
And slipped it right into my hand
Then the law came and put me in prison
Bad luck to the black velvet band.

Next morning before judge and jury
For a trial I had to appear
And the judge, he said, "You young fellows...
The case against you is quite clear
And seven long years is your sentence
You're going to Van Dieman's Land
Far away from your friends and relations
To follow the black velvet band."

So come all you jolly young fellows
I'd have you take warning by me
Whenever you're out on the liquor, me lads,
Beware of the pretty colleen.
She'll fill you with whiskey and porter
Until you're not able to stand
And the very next thing that you'll know, me lads,
You're landed in Van Dieman's Land.

And cannot leave her mother.

Billy Boy, Billy Boy?

As a fork fits to a knife
But she's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother.

Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Can she make a cherry pie
Charming Billy?
She can bake a cherry pie
Quick's a cat can wink her eye
But she's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother.

Just how old can this girl be
Billy Boy Billy boy?
Just how old can this girl be
Charming Billy?
Three times six and four times seven
Plus an eighteen and eleven
But she's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother.

She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.

Betty Botter

Betty Botter bought some butter,
But, she said, the butter's bitter;
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter.
But, a bit of better butter
Will make my batter better.
So, she bought a bit of butter
Better than her bitter butter;
And she put it in her batter
And the batter was not bitter.
So, twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.

Bessy Bell And Mary Gray

Bessy Bell and Mary Gray,
They were two bonny lasses;
They built their house upon the lea
And covered it with rashes.

And Mary kept the pantry;
Bessy always had to wait,
While Mary lived in plenty.

Beautiful Dreamer

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea
Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Baby Dear Good Night Good Night

Baby dear, good night, good night,
Doggie lies in slumbers deep;
Hush-a-bye, my treasure bright,
Pussy, too, is fast asleep.

Don't you wake them! If you do,
Pups will bark, and Puss will mew.
Go to sleep, and never fear,
Mother will call when morning's near.

Bat Bat Come Under my Hat

Bat, bat, come under my hat,
And I'll give you a slice of bacon;
And when I bake,
I'll give you a cake,
If I'm not mistaken.

Barber Barber

Barber, barber, shave a pig!
How many hairs to make a wig?
Four and twenty, that's enough!
Give the barber a pinch of snuff.

Babies Don't Keep

I hope that my child, looking back on today
Will remember a mother who had time to play;
Because children grow up while you're not looking,
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So, quiet now cobwebs, go to sleep.
I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full;
One for my master,
And one for my dame,
and one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Away in a Manger.

Away in a manger,
No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head;
The stars in the bright sky
Look down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus
A - sleep in the hay.

The cattle are lowing,
the Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus,
no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus,
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle,
Till morning is nigh.

Autumn is Here.

Autumn is here my dear,
Put on your coat and hat.
Big bears begin their nap.
Brown leaves fall in your lap.
Autumn is here my dear,
Eat up your pumpkin pie.
Birds fly south in the sky.
Autumn is here my dear.

As l was walking down the Lake.

As I was walking down the lake,
I met a little Rattlesnake;
I gave him so much jelly-cake,
It made his little belly ache.
One, two, three, out goes she!

As l was going up a hill.

As I was going up a hill
I met with Jack, the Piper,
And all the tunes that he could play
Was 'Tie up your petticoats tighter.'

I tied them once, I tied them twice,
I tied them three times over,
And all the songs that he could sing
Was 'Carry me safe to Dover.'

As l was going to St Ives

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

As I Wandered By The Brookside

As I wandered by the brookside
I wandered by the mill,
I could now hear the brook flow
For the noisy mill was still;
No sound of grasshopper could I hear
Nor the sound of any bird,
For the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.
For the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.

All the sound I heard.

He came not, no, he came not,
The moon shone out alone.
The twinkling stars now one by one
Shone round her golden foam;
I waited for one footstep,
I waited for one word,
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.

All the sound I heard.

Oh as I sat there musing
A touch came from behind,
A hand was on my shoulder laid,
I knew the touch was kind;
It drew me more nearer,
I could not speak one word.
For the beating of our own two hearts
Was all the sound I heard.
For the beating of our own two hearts
Was all the sound I heard.
For the beating of our own two hearts
Was all the sound I heard.

Are You Going To Scarborough Fair?

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there,
For once she was a true love of mine.

Have her make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without a seam or fine needle work
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Have her wash it in yonder dry well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where ne'er a drop of water e'er fell,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

If she tells me she can't, I'll reply,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Let me know that at least she will try
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Dear, when thou hast finished the task,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Come to me, my hand for to ask,
For thou then art a true love of mine.

Apple Harvest.

Up in the green orchard there is a green tree,
The finest of pippins that you ever did see;
The apples are ripe and ready to fall,
And Richard and Robin shall gather them all.

Angels To Watch Over You.

When you go to bed at night
And you turn off all your lights;
In the dark and out of sight,
There's angels to watch over you.

Later on when you've gone to sleep,
Take me off to the land of dreams;
Guarding you and your family,
Angels to watch over you.

God sends his angels to watch over you,
And give you love to see you through.
There's angels to watch over you.

And if far away from home
And you feel like you're on your own;
No need to worry, you're not alone,
There's angels to watch over you.

When it seems like no-one cares,
Just remember who hears your prayers;
Right beside you, they're always there,
Angels to watch over you.

God sends his angels to watch over you,
And give you love to see you through,
There's Angels to watch over you.

God sends his angels to watch over you,
And give you love to see you through,
Angels to watch over you.

An Elephant Walks like This and That

He's terribly tall and terribly fat.

But goodness gracious, what a nose!

All Through The Night

Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night.
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night;
Soft and drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
I my loved one's watch am keeping,
All through the night.

Angels watching, all around thee,
All through the night.
Midnight slumber close surround thee,
All through the night.
Soft and drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
I my loved one's watch am keeping,
All through the night.

While the moon, her watch is keeping,
All through the night,
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night.
O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small.
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings.
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brighten up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun.
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them, every one.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell.
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

How great is God almighty,
Who has made all things well.

All the Pretty Little Horses

Go to sleepy my little baby.
When you wake, you'll have cake,
And all the pretty little horses.

Blacks and bays, dapples and greys,
A coach, and six little horses.
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy my little baby.

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleep my little baby.
When you wake, you'll have cake,
And all the pretty little horses.

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleep my little baby.
When you wake, you'll have cake,
And all the pretty little horses.

A Cat and a Mouse and a Bumble-bee

A cat and a mouse and a bumble-bee
Started a-dancing, one, two, three.
They danced in the daytime,
They danced in the night,
They cared not whether it was dark or light.

What did they dance to? Don't ask me!
They danced to the hum of the bumble-bee.
They danced to the purr of the big Tom cat,
They danced to the mouse-squeeks high as a bat.

Where did they go to? Idon't know!
Nobody ever saw them go.
But if you ask me, I'm willing to bet
That if they are alive still they are dancing yet.

All birds are singing,
Spring has come again.
God has sent the sunshine,
God has sent the rain.

All around the Mulberry Bush.

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun.
Pop! goes the weasel.

A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle,
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! goes the weasel.

They tickle and hug you 'til you scream for more,

They put down their knitting and go for a hike,

A love that is tender, a love full of zeal,
That's what all grannies feel.

The more he heard, the less he spoke;
The less he spoke, the more he heard,
Why aren't we all like that wise old bird?

A Tisket, a Tasket

A-tisket, a-tasket,
A brown and yellow basket;
I sent a letter to my love
And on the way I dropped it.

I dropped it, I dropped it.
Yes on the way I dropped it;
A little girlie picked it up
And put it in her pocket.

She was truckin' on down the avenue
With not a single thing to do;
She went peck, peck, peckin' all around,
When she spied it on the ground

She took it, she took it,
The letter from my basket;
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I will die'

Is worth a load of hay;
A swarm of bees in June

Is not worth a fly.

As swim in the wood."

The mare broke her knees and the farmer his crown,

And vowed he would serve them the same the next day,
Lumpety, lumpety, lump!

A Childs Prayer

Lord, as evening shadows fall
And I lay down my head,
I shut my eyes, as angels from afar
All gather 'round my little bed;
And while I sleep, I trust you'll hold my hand
'Til morning greets the sky;
And then watch over me the whole day through
'Til dusk is nigh, 'til dusk is nigh.

With a pair of bagpipes under her arm.

We'll have a wedding at our good house.
