Three blind mice,
See how they run!
They all ran after a farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?

As white as milk,
And not milk;
As green as grass,
And not grass;
As red as blood,
And not blood;
As black as soot,
And not soot
|

One for Sorrow
In marble walls
as white as milk,
Lined with skin as soft as silk;
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold --
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.

In Spring I look
gay,
Decked in comely array,
In Summer more clothing I wear;
When colder it grows,
I fling off my clothes,
And in Winter quite naked appear
|
|
One for the
mouse,
One for the crow,
One to rot,
One to grow.
|
|
A shoemaker makes
shoes without leather,
With four elements all together,
Fire, Water, Earth, Air,
And every customer takes two pair.

Go to bed, Tom.
Go to bed, Tom!
Tired or not, Tom,
Go to bed, Tom
