Lizzie Borden took an axe, 
and gave her mother forty whacks. 
When she saw what she had done, 
she gave her father forty-one. 

There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile, 
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile; 
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, 
And they all lived together in a little crooked house. 

Ten little nigger boys went out to dine; One choked his little self, and then there were nine. 
Nine little nigger boys sat up very late; One overslept himself, and then there were eight. 
Eight little nigger boys travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there, and then there were seven.
Seven little nigger boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in half, and then there were six. 
Six little nigger boys playing with a hive; A bumble-bee stung one, and then there were five. 
Five little nigger boys going in for law; One got in chancery, and then there were four. 
Four little nigger boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one, and then there were three. 
Three little nigger boys walking in the Zoo; A big bear bugged one, and then there were two. 
Two little nigger boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up, and then there was one. 
One little nigger boy living all alone; He went and hanged himself, and then there were none. 

Tom, he was a piper's son.He learned to play when he was young.
And all the tune that he could play.
Was, "Over the hills and far away,"
 Over the hills, and a great way off, 
The wind will blow my top-knot off.
Now, Tom with his pipe made such a noise
That he well pleased both the girls and boys, 
And they always stopped to hear him play 
"Over the hills and far away."

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses,
And all the king's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Kitty White so slyly comes,
To catch the Mousie Gray;
But mousie hears her softly creep,
And quickly runs away!
Run, run, run little mouse,
Run, run, run little mouse,
For Kitty White is coming near,
And she will catch the mouse, I fear.

My mother has killed me,
My father is eating me,
My brothers and sisters sit under the table,
Picking up my bones,
And they bury them
under the cold marble stones.

As I walked by myself
And talked to myself,
Myself said unto me,
Look to thyself,
Take care of thyself,
For nobody cares for thee.
I answered myself,
And said to myself
In the self-same repartee,
Look to thyself,
Or not to thyself,
The self-same thing will be.

Needles and pins, needles and pins,
When you get married your trouble begins;
Trouble begins, trouble begins,
When you get married your trouble begins.

A shoemaker makes shoes without leather,
With all the four elements put together,
Fire, Water, Earth, Air,
And every customer takes two pair.

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret, Never to be told. 

If all the sea were one sea, 
What a great sea that would be! 
And if all the trees were one tree, 
What a great tree that would be!
And if all the axes were one axe, 
What a great axe that would be! 
And if all the men were one man, 
What a great man he would be! 
And if the great man took the great axe,
And cut down the great tree,
And let it fall into the great sea, 
What a splish splash that would be!

Mary had a little lamb, 
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb, 
Its fleece was white as snow. 
And everywhere that Mary went, 
Mary went, Mary went, 
Everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.
