HERE was an old woman, as I've heard tell, TH She went to market all on a market-day, There came by a pedlar whose name was Stout; He cut her petticoats all round about; He cut her petticoats up to the knees, Which made the old woman to shiver and freeze. When this little woman first did wake, She began to shiver and she began to shake; "But if it be I, as I do hope it be, I've a little dog at home, and he'll know me; And if it be not I, he'll loudly bark and wail." Home went the little woman all in the dark; O' LD woman, old woman, shall we go a shearing?" "Speak a little louder, sir, I am very thick of hearing." Old woman, old woman, shall I love you dearly? kind sir, I hear you very clearly." "Thank you, HERE was an old woman toss'd up in a TH basket Nineteen times as high as the moon; Where she was going I couldn't but ask it, "Old woman, old woman, old woman," quoth I, "O whither, O whither, O whither, so high?" "To brush the cobwebs off the sky!" "Shall I go with thee?” "Ay, by-and-by." A LITTLE old man and I fell out; "How shall we bring this matter about?” Bring it about as well as you can; Get you gone, you little old man!" HERE was an old woman of Leeds THE Who spent all her time in good deeds: Till her fingers were sore, This pious old woman of Leeds! 'HERE was an old woman who lived in a shoe; She had so many ΤΗ to do; children she didn't know what She gave them some broth without any bread; She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed. |
