Bossy-Cow, Bossy-Cow

Bossy-cow, bossy-cow, where do you lie?
In the green meadows, under the sky.

Billy-horse, billy-horse, where do you lie?
Out i the stable, with nobody nigh.

Birdies bright, birdies sweet, where do you lie?
Up in the treetops, ever so high.

Baby dear, baby love, where do you lie?
In my warm cradle, with mama close by.

Two Crows

There were to crows sat on a stone,
One flew away and there was one.

The other, seeing his neighbour gone,
He flew away and there were none.

Hickety, Pickety

Hickety, pickety, my black hen,
She lays eggs for gentlement.

Sometimes nine, sometimes ten,
Hickety, pickety, my black hen.

Five Little Pussy Cats

Five little pussy cats sitting in a row,
Blue ribbons round each neck, fastened in a bow.

Hey, pussies! Ho, pussies! Are your faces clean?
Don't you know you're sitting there so as to be seen.

Three Young Rats

Three young rats with black felt hats,
Three young ducks with new straw flats,
Three young dogs with curling tails,
Three young cats with demi veils,
Went out to walk with two young pigs
In satin vests and sorrel wigs.
But suddenly it chanced to rain,
So they all went home again.
