To see a fine lady upon a white horse.
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
She shall have music wherever she goes.

And knows not what to do.

Who would not say his prayers
I took him by the left leg
And threw him down the stairs.

I had a little hen,
The prettiest ever seen,
She washed up the dishes,
And kept the house clean.

To fetch me some flour,
And always got home
In less than an hour.
She baked me my bread,
She brewed me my ale,
She sat by the fire
And she told a fine tale!

Eating a Christmas pie;

And pulled out a plum
And said, “What a good boy am I!”

Eating her curds and whey;

Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.

That was against the rule.

To see a lamb at school.
