Chapter I: Had a Little Nut-Tree

[Music:

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]

GOOSEY, GOOSEY, GANDER.

[Music:

Goosey, goosey, gander,
Where shall I wander?
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my lady’s chamber.]

There I met an old man
Who would not say his prayers,
So I took him by the left leg,
And threw him down the stairs.

A LITTLE COCK-SPARROW.

[Music:

1. A little cock-sparrow sat on a green tree,
And he chirrup’d, he chirrup’d, so merry was he;
A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow,
Determined to shoot the little cock-sparrow.]

2. “This little cock-sparrow shall make me a stew
And his giblets shall make me a little pie too:”
“Oh, no!” said the sparrow, “I won’t make a stew,”
So he flapped his wings, and away he flew.

SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP.

[Music:

1. Sleep, baby, sleep!
Our cottage vale is deep;
The little lamb is on the green,
With snowy fleece so soft and clean
Sleep, baby, sleep!]

2. Sleep, baby, sleep!
Thy rest shall angels keep,
While on the grass the lamb shall feed,
And never suffer want or need.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
