I had a little nut tree,
Nothing would it bear.
But a silver nutmeg,
And a golden pear.
The King of Spain's daughter,
Came to visit me,
And all for the sake,
Of my little nut tree.
Her dress was made of crimson,
Jet black was her hair.
She asked me for my nutmeg,
And my golden pear.
I said so fair a princess,
Never did I see.
I'll give you all the fruit,
From my little nut tree.
I skipped over the water,
And danced over the sea.
And all the birds in the air,
Couldn't catch me.

Polly put the kettle on,
We'll all have tea.
Sukey take it off again,
They've all gone away.

To market to market to buy a fat pig,
Home again home again dancing a jig.
To market to market to buy a fat hog,
Home again home again jiggety jog.
To market to market to buy a plum bun,
Home again home again market is done.
Early to bed,
Early to rise,
Makes a man healthy,
Wealthy and wise.
