As I was going to St.Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks and wives,
How many were going to St.Ives?

Bonny Bobby Shaftoe.

Rub a dub dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick maker,
And up they jumped all three.

Tom Tom the piper's son,
Stole a pig and away did run,
The pig was eat and Tom was beat,
And Tom went crying down the street.
Tom he was a piper's son,
He learnt 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 shall blow my top-knot off,
Tom with his pipe made such a noise,
That he pleased both the girls and boys.
They all stopped to hear him play,
Over the hills and far away,
Tom with his pipe did play with such skill,
That those who heard him could never keep still.
As soon as he played they began to dance,
Even the pigs on their hind legs would prance,
As Dolly was milking her cow one day,
Tom took his pipe and began to play.
