Cross patch

Cross patch,
draw the latch,
sit by the fire and spin
Take a cup and drink it up,
and call your neighbors in.

Around the Green Gravel

Around the green gravel the grass grows green,
And all the pretty maids are plain to be seen;
Wash them with milk, and clothe them with silk,
And write their names with a pen and ink.

As I Was Going Up and Down

As I was going up and down,
I met a little dandy,
He pulled my nose,
and with two blows,
I knocked him down quite handy.

Bobby Shaftoe

Bobby Shaftoe's gone to sea, Silver buckles on his knee;
He'll come back and marry me, Pretty Bobby Shaftoe!
Bobby Shaftoe's fat and fair, Combing down his yellow hair,
He's my love for evermore, Pretty Bobby Shaftoe.

Dear Baby, Lie Still

Hush-a-bye, baby, lie still with thy daddy;
Thy mammy has gone to the mill,
To get some wheat, to make some meat,
So pray, my dear baby, lie still.
