The Queen of Hearts


The Queen of Hearts,
She made some tarts,
All on a summer's day,
The Knave of Hearts,
He stole the tarts,
And took them clean away.

The King o Hearts
Called for the tarts
And beat the Knave full sore.
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he'd steal no more.


 

Monday's Child

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for its living,
And a child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is blithe and bonny and good and gay.


 

Weather


Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the wether be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not!

All Through the Night


Sleep, by babe, lie still and slumber,
All through the night;
Guardian angels God will lend thee,
All through thenight;
Soft and drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber lseeping,
Mother dear her watch is keeping,
All through the night.

God is here, thou'lt not be lonely,
All through thenight;
'Tis not I who guards thee only,
All through the night.
Night's dark shades will soon be over,
Still my watchful care shall hover,
God with me His watch is keeping,
All through the night.


 

Sing a song of sixpence


Sing a song of sixpence,

A pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie!

When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing;
Was not that dainty dish
To set before the king?

The king was in his counting-house
Counting all his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.

The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And snapped off her nose.


 

The Daughter of the Farrier


The daughter of the farrier
Could find no one to marry her,
Because she said
She would not wed
A man who could not carry her.

The foolish girl was wrong enough,
And had to wait quite long enough;
For as she sat
She grew so fat
That nobody was strong enough.

Mary's Lamb



Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go;
He followed her to school one day-
That was against the rule,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned him out,
But still he lingered near,
And waited patiently about,
Till Mary did appear.
And then he ran to her and laid
His head upon her arm,
As if he said, "I'm not afraid-
You'll shield me from all harm."

"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"
The little children cry;
"Oh, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"
The teacher did reply,
"And, you, each gentle animal
In confidence may bind,
And make it follow at your call,
If you are always kind."
