The clock struck one, and down the mouse ran,

My fiddle and I have had.

All the day you'll have good luck.

Who lived on rice, gruel, and sago;
Till, much to his bliss,
His physician said this--
"To a leg, sir, of mutton you may go."
Little Miss Muffett
She sat on a tuffett,
Eating of curds and whey;
There came a little spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffett away.
As Tommy Snooks and Bessy Brooks,
Were walking out one Sunday,
Says Tommy Snooks to Bessy Brooks,
Wilt marry me on Monday?

And struck up a bit of a jig.
Here am I,
Little jumping Joan,
When nobody's with me,
I'm always alone.
