If ye ha ve no daughte rs , Give them to your s on s .
How does my la dy ’ s garden grow
How does my lady’ s gar den grow
With cockl e shell s, an d si l ver bells ,
And pr etty maids al l of a ro w .
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall ,
Humpty D umpty had a great fal l
Thr eescore m e n an d thr eescor e mor e
Can not plac e Humpty Dumpty as he was be fo re .
Hush- a- bye , baby, on the tr ee- top,
When the wind bl ows , the cr adl e will r ock,
When the bo ugh bends, the cradl e wi ll fall ,
Down will come baby, bough, cradl e, an d all .
Some littl e mice sat in a barn to spin ;
Pus sy came by, an d popped he r head in ;
Shall I come i n , an d cut your thr e ads Ofi
Oh, no, kind sir, yo u woul d sn ap o ur hea ds o ff .

And all the se a wer e in k,
An d al l the tr ees wer e br ead an d che e se, What s houl d we have fo r drin k
If wishe s wer e horse s, Beggar s might ride ;
If

I woul d wear one by my side .
I have a lit tl e sister , the y call he r peep, pee p ;
She wades the waters deep, deep, deep ;
She climbs the m ountains high, high, high ;
Poor littl e cr eatur e, she has but o n e e ye .
