Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a tree,
Up went pussy cat, and down went she;
Down came pussy, and away Robin ran;
Says little Robin Redbreast, Catch me if you can.
Little Robin Redbreast jumped upon a wall,
Pussy cat jumped after him, and almost got a fall;
Little Robin chirps and sang, and what did pussy say?
Pussy cat said, Mew, and Robin jumped away.

I had a little husband,
No bigger than my thumb;
I put him in a pint-pot
And there I bade him drum.
I bought a little horse
That galloped up and down;
I bridled him and saddled him
And sent him out of town.
I gave him some garters
To garter up his hose,
And a little silk handkerchief
To wipe his pretty nose.

Specially for alagbon:
There were three jovial Welshmen,
As I have heard men say,
And they would go a-hunting
Upon St. David's Day.
All the day they hunted
And nothing could they find,
But a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing with the wind.
One said it was a ship,
The other he said, Nay;
The third said it was a house
With the chimney blown away.
And all the night they hunted
And nothing could they find,
But the moon a-gliding,
A-gliding with the wind.
One said it was the moon,
The other he said, Nay;
The third said it was a cheese,
And half of it cut away.
And all the day they hunted
And nothing could they find,
But a hedgehog in a bramble bush,
And that they left behind.
The first said it was a hedgehog,
The second, he said, Nay;
The third said it was apinchusion,
And the pins stuck in wrong way.
And all the night they hunted
And nothing could they find,
But a hare in a turnip field,
And that they left behind.
The first he said it was a hare,
The second he said, Nay;
The third said it was a calf,
And the cow had run away.
And all the day they hunted
And nothing could they find,
But an owl in a holly tree,
And that they left behind.
One said it was an owl,
The other he said, Nay;
The third said 'twas an old man,
And his beard growing grey.
