A little cock-sparrow sat on a green tree,

And he cherruped, he cherruped, so merry was he.

A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow (tris),

Determined to shoot this little cock-sparrow (tris);
A naughty, &c.
Determined, &c.

"This little cock-sparrow shall make me a stew (tris), And his giblets shall make me a little pie too" (tris); "Oh, no," said the sparrow, "I won't make a stew;"

So he flapped his wings, and away he flew.

AME, what makes your ducks to die?

What the pize ails 'em? what the pize ails

'em?

They kick up their heels, and there they lie;

What the pize ails 'em now?

Heigh, ho! heigh, ho!

Dame, what makes your ducks to die?

What a pize ails 'em? what a pize ails 'em?

Heigh, ho! heigh, ho!

Dame, what ails your ducks to die?

Eating o' polly-wigs, eating o' polly-wigs.
Heigh, ho! heigh, ho!

"Pooh, pooh," says the wren; "I have got ten,

And keep them all like gentlemen!"

LOVE little pussy, her coat is so warm;

And if I don't hurt her she'll do me no harm. So I'll not pull her tail nor drive her away,

But pussy and I very gently will play.
