She went to the joiner's

To buy him a coffin, But when she came back

The poor dog was a loffin.

She took a clean dish
To get him some tripe,

But when she came back
He was smoking a pipe.

She went to the ale-house
To get him some beer,
But when she came back
The dog sat in a chair.

She went to the tavern

For white wine and red, But when she came back The dog stood on his head.

She went to the hatter's
To buy him a hat,
But when she came back

He was feeding a cat.

She went to the barber's

To buy him a wig,
But when she came back

He was dancing a jig.

She went to the fruitter's
To buy him some fruit,
But when she came back
He was playing the flute.

She went to the cobler's
To buy him some shoes,
But when she came back

She went to the tailor's
To buy him a coat,
But when she came back
He was riding a goat.

He was reading the news.

She went to the sempstress
To buy him some linen,
But when she came back

The dog was spinning.

She went to the hosier's

To buy him some hose,

But when she came back

He was dressed in his clothes.

The dame made a curtsey,

The dog made a bow,

The dame said, "Your servant,"
The dog said, "Bow-wow."

How does your garden grow?
With cockle shells, and silver bells,
And pretty maids all a row.

The king cannot reach it nor the Queen; Nor did old Noll whose power's so great.

Tell me this riddle while I count eight.

HERE was an old woman had three sons,
Jerry, and James, and John;

Jerry was hung, and James was drowned,
John was lost and never found,

And there was an end of her three sons,

Jerry, and James, and John.

HE King of France went up the hill,
With twenty thousand men;

The King of France came down the hill,

And never went up again.

I've been to London to see the Queen. Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there?

I frightened a little mouse under the chair.'
