Who pulled her out,
Dog with long snout;
What a trick was that,

To drown my granny's cat,

Who never did any harm,

But catch the mice in the barn.

CV.

DINGTY diddledy,

My mammy's maid,
She stole oranges,

I am afraid;

Some in her pocket,

Some in her sleeve,

She stole oranges,

I do believe.

CVI.

COCK a doodle doo,

My dame has lost her shoe;

And master's lost his fiddling stick,

And don't know what to do.

Cock a doodle doo,

What is my dame to do?

Till master finds his fiddling stick

She'll dance without her shoe.

Cock a doodle doo,

My dame has found her shoe,

And master's found his fiddling stick,
Sing doodle doodle doo.

Cock a doodle doo,

My dame will dance with you,

While master fiddles his fiddling stick,

For dame and doodle doo.

CVII.

HEY ding a ding, what shall I sing?
How many holes in a skimmer?
Four-and-twenty,-my stomach is empty;
Pray, mamma, give me some dinner.

CVIII.

DEEDLE, deedle, dumpling, my son John, Went to the bed with his trousers on; One shoe off, the other shoe on,

Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John.

FEEDUM, fiddledum fee,
The cat's got into the tree.
Pussy come down,

Or I'll crack your crown,
And toss you into the sea.

CX.

YANKEE Doodle came to town,
Upon a Kentish poney;

He stuck a feather in his hat,
And called him Macaroni.

COME dance a jig

To my Granny's pig,

CXI.

With a raudy, rowdy, dowdy;

Come dance a jig,

To my Granny's pig,

And Pussey cat shall crowdy [i. e. fiddle.]

CXII.

[From Devonshire.]

DRIDDLETY drum, driddlety drum,

There you see the beggars are come ;
Some are here and some are there,
And some are gone to Chidlely fair.

CXIII.

[The following may possibly be a game, but I am without any evidence for so attributing it.]

INTERY, mintery, cutery-corn,

Apple seed and apple thorn;

Wine, brier, limber-lock,

Five geese in a flock,

Sit and sing by a spring,

O-U-T, and in again.

CXIV.

A CAT Came fiddling out of a barn,
With a pair of bag-pipes under her arm;
She could sing nothing but fiddle cum fee.
The mouse has married the humble bee;
Pipe cat, dance mouse,

We'll have a wedding at our good house.

CXV.

HEY, dorolot, dorolot!

Hey dorolay, dorolay!
Hey, my bonny boat, bonny boat,
Hey, drag away, drag away!

CXVI.

SEEK a thing, give a thing,

The old man's gold ring;

Lie butt, lie ben,

Lie among the dead men.

CXVII.

HIE! diddle diddle,

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon,

The little dog laughed to see such sport, While the dish ran after the spoon.

CXVIII.

CRIPPLE Dick upon a stick,

And Sandy on a sow,
Riding away to Galloway,

To buy a pound o' woo.
