Hush-A-Bye, Baby



Hush-a-bye, baby,
  On the tree top,
When the wind blows
  The cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks
  The cradle will fall,
Down will come baby,
  And cradle, and all.

Little Tom Tucker

Little Tom Tucker
  Sings for his supper:
What shall he eat ?
  White bread and butter.

How can he marry
  Without e'er a wife ?
How shall he cut it
  Without e'er a knife.

Little Bo-Peep


Little Bo-peep has lost her shep,
  And cannot tell where to find them;
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
  And carry their tails behind them.

Little Bo-peep fell fast asleep,
  And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
  For they were all fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,
  Determined for to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her
         heart bleed,
   For they'd left their tails behind them.
