Cut Thistles in May

Cut thistles in May,
They'll grow in a day;
Cut them in June,
That is too soon;
Cut them in July,
Then they will die.

Cry Baby Buntin

Cry, Baby Buntin,
Daddy's gone a hunting
to fetch a little rabbit skin,
To wrap the Baby Buntin in.
Cry, Baby Buntin.
Cry, Baby Buntin.

Cross Patch, Draw The Latch

Cross patch, draw the latch,
Sit by the fire and spin;
Take up a cup, and drink it up,
Then call the neighbours in.

Come to the window

Come to the window,
My baby, with me,
And look at the stars
That shine on the sea!
There are two little stars
That play bo-peep
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

Come lasses and lads, get leave of your dads
And away to the maypole high.
For every fair has a sweetheart there
And the fiddler's standing by.
For Willy shall dance with Jane,
And Johny has got his Joan
To trip it, trip it, trip it, trip it,
Trip it up and down.
To trip it, trip it, trip it, trip it,
Trip it up and down.

You're out!" says Dick. "Not I!" says Nick
" Twas the fiddler played it wrong."
"Tis true" says Hugh, and so says Sue
And so says everyone.
The fiddler then began
To play the tune again
And every girl did trip it, trip it,
Trip it to the men
And every girl did trip it, trip it,
Trip it to the men.

"Goodnight!" says Harry. "Goodnight!" says Mary
"Goodnight!" says Paul to John.
"Goodnight!" says Sue to her sweetheart, Hugh,
"Goodnight!" says everyone.
Some walked and some did run,
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.

Colin Colin Colin

Colin, Colin, Colin,
One two, three,
Go and ask the blackbird
What's for tea.
First you ask him inside,
Then you ask him out;
Oh my darling Colin,
Please find out.

Curly Locks, Curly Locks

Curly Locks, Curly Locks,
Will you be mine?
You shall not wash dishes,
Nor feed the swine,
But sit on a cushion,
And sew a fine seam,
And sup upon strawberries,
Sugar and cream.

Cock a Doodle Doo

Cock a doodle doo!
My dame has lost her shoe,
My master's lost his fiddling stick,
And knows not what to do.

Cobbler Cobbler

Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe.
Get it done by half past two.
Half past two is much too late!
Get it done by half past eight.
Stitch it up, and stitch it down,
And I'll give you half a crown.

Cluck Cluck

Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck,
Good morning, pretty hen.
How many chickens have you got?
Madam, I've got ten.
Three of them are yellow,
And three of them are brown.
And four of them are black and white,
The nicest in the town.

But mothers got none.

The circle of love is free.

Christmas is coming

Christmas is coming,
The geese are getting fat,
Please put a penny
In the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny,
A ha'penny will do.
If you haven't got a ha'penny,
Then God bless you.

Christmas Pudding

Christmas Pudding, Christmas Pudding,
Steaming hot, steaming hot,
Sprinkle on the sugar, sprinkle on the sugar,
Eat it up, eat it up.

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.

Cherry Ripe

Cherry ripe, cherry ripe,
Ripe I cry,
Full and fair ones
Come and buy.
Cherry ripe, cherry ripe,
Ripe I cry,
Full and fair ones
Come and buy.

If so be you ask me where
They do grow, I answer there
Where my Julia's lips do smile,
There's the land or Cherry Isle.
There's the land or Cherry Isle.
There's the land or Cherry Isle.

Where my Julia's lips do smile,
There's the land or Cherry Isle,
There plantations fully show
All the year where cherries grow.
All the year where cherries grow.
All the year where cherries grow.
If so be you ask me where
They do grow, I answer there
Where my Julia's lips do smile,
There's the land or Cherry Isle,
There's the land or Cherry Isle,
There's the land or Cherry Isle.

There's the land or Cherry Isle.

Caterpillar Caterpillar

Caterpillar, Caterpillar,
Wriggle, wriggle through the grass.
Caterpillar, Caterpillar,
You go slow because you can't go fast.
Green and furry, green and furry,
Thats what you are,
Wriggling through the long grass,
Like a Caterpillar.
