up Shuter's bank; he, haw, hum!
And there his nag did kick and prank; he, haw, hum!
John Cook was riding up Shuter's hill; he, haw, hum!
His mare fell down and she made her will; he, haw, hum!
The bridle and saddle were laid on the shelf; he, haw, hum!
If you want any more you may sing it yourself; he, haw, hum!
Dingty, diddlety, my mammy's maid,
She stole oranges, I am afraid;
Some in her pocket, some in her sleeve,
She stole oranges, I do believe.

A horse and cart
Had Billy Smart,
To play with when it pleased him;
The cart he'd load
By the side of the road,
And be happy if no one teased him.

Who ever saw a rabbit
Dressed in a riding habit,
Gallop off to see her friends, in this style?
I should not be surprised
If my lady is capsized,
Before she has ridden half a mile.
Boys and girls, come out to play,

Come with a whoop, and come with a call,
And come with a good will, or not at all.

A half-penny roll will serve us all.
You'll find milk and I'll find flour,
And we'll have pudding in half an hour.
Jog on, jog on, the footpath way,
And merrily jump the stile, boys,
A merry heart goes all the day,
Your sad one tires in a mile, boys.
Hush-a-bye, baby, upon the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
Down tumble cradle and baby and all.

DINNER.
Miss Kitty was rude at the table one day,
And would not sit still on her seat;
Regardless of all that her mother could say,
From her chair little Kitty kept running away,
All the time they were eating the meat.
As soon as she saw that the meat was remov'd
She ran to her chair in great haste;
But her mother such giddy behavior reprov'd,
By sending away the sweet pudding she lov'd,
Without giving Kitty one taste.

THE NEW DOLL.
Miss Jenny and Polly
Had each a new Dolly,
With rosy-red cheeks and blue eyes,
Dress'd in ribands and gauze:
And they quarreled because
The Dolls were not both of a size.
O silly Miss Jenny!
To be such a ninny,
To quarrel and make such a noise!
For the very same day
Their mama sent away
Their dolls with red cheeks and b
