Jack and Jill went up the hill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
The fetch a pail of water;
Jack feel down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

Up got Jack and home did he trot,
As fast as he could caper;
Went to bed and bound his head,
With vinegar and brown paper.

When Jill came in how she did grin
To see Jack’s paper plaster;
Mother vexed, did whip her next;
For causing Jack’s disaster.

 

Jack be nimble
Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jump over
The candlestick

Jill be nimble,
Jump it too,
If Jack can do it
So can you!

Sat in a corner,
Eating a Christmas pie,
He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said What a good boy am I.

 

Lucy locket lost her pocket

Kitty fisher found it;
There was not a penny in it,
Only ribbon round it.

 

There was an old woman
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children she didn’t know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread;
She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

 

Hush a bye baby
Hush a bye baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
Down will come baby, cradle and all.
