R OBIN the Bobbin, the big-bellied Ben, He ate more meat than fourscore men; He ate a cow, he ate a calf, He ate a butcher and a half; He ate a church, he ate a steeple, He ate the priest and all the people! A cow and a calf, An ox and a half, A church and a steeple, And all the good people, And yet he complained that his stomach wasn't full. R OBIN and Richard were two pretty men; They laid in bed till the clock struck ten; Then up starts Robin and looks at the sky, Oh! brother Richard, the sun's very high: The bull's in the barn threshing the corn, The dog's in the pantry breaking his dish. LD Mother Goose, when OLD whe She wanted to wander, Would ride through the air Mother Goose had a house, 'Twas built in a wood, Where an owl at the door For sentinel stood. This is her son Jack, She sent him to market, Jack's goose and her gander They'd both eat together, Jack found one morning, Jack rode to his mother And said it was well. Jack sold his gold egg Who cheated him out of The half of his due. Then Jack went a-courting A lady so gay, As fair as the lily, And sweet as the May. The Jew and the Squire |
