Rock a Bye Baby

Rock a bye baby
In the tree top.
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock.
When the bow breaks,
The cradle will fall,
And down will come baby
Cradle and all.

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep
Has lost her sheep
And can’t tell where
To find them.
Leave them alone,
And they’ll come home
Wagging their tails behind them.

Hickety Pickety

Hickety, pickety, my black hen.
She lays eggs for gentlemen.
Gentlemen come every day
To see what my black hen doth lay.

Old King Cole

Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three.

Pease Porridge Hot

Pease porridge hot,
Pease porridge cold.
Pease porridge in the pot
Nine days old.
Some like it hot.
Some like it cold.
Some like it in the pot
Nine days old.

Rain, Rain Go Away

Rain, rain, go away.
Come again another day.
All the children want to play.
Rain, rain, go away.

Ring Around a Rosie

Ring around a rosie
A pocketful of posies.
Upstairs, downstairs,
We all fall down.

The Queen of Hearts

The queen of hearts
Made some tarts
All on a summer’s day.
The knave of hearts
He stole those tarts
And took them clean away.

Diddle Diddle Dumpling

Diddle diddle dumpling
My son John
Went to bed with his britches on.
One shoe off and one shoe on.
Diddle diddle dumpling
My son John.

Georgie Porgie

Georgie Porgie
Pudding and pie
Kissed the girls
And made them cry.
When the boys
Came out to play.
Georgie Porgie ran away!

Old Lady in the Shoe

There was an old lady
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 hugged them all soundly
And sent them to bed.

Wee Willie Winkie

Wee Willie Winkie
Runs through the town
Upstairs and downstairs
In his nightgown.
Tapping at the window
And crying through the lock,
“Are the children in their beds
For now it’s eight o’clock?”
