THE

CROOKED MAN

AND OTHER RHYMES.

McLOUGHLIN BRO'S 30 BEEKMAN St

[Illustration]

There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile,
And he found a crooked six-pence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked hat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

Go to bed Tom, go to bed Tom--
Merry or sober, go to bed Tom.

[Illustration]

Little Tommy Grace,
Had a pain in his face,
So that he could not learn a letter;

[Illustration]

When in came Dicky Long,
Singing such a funny song,
That Tommy laughed, and found his face much better.

Shoe the horse, shoe the mare,
Let the little colt go bare.

[Illustration]

A dog and a cat went out together,
To see some friends just out of town;
Said the cat to the dog, "What d'ye think of the weather?"
"I think, Ma'am, the rain will come down."

[Illustration]

"But don't be alarmed, for I've an umbrella
That will shelter us both," said this amiable fellow.

* * * * *

Oh, the rusty, dusty, rusty miller,
I'll not change my wife for gold or siller.

[Illustration]

Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
And Jack jump over the candlestick.

* * * * *

Hiccory, diccory, dock,
The mouse ran up the clock;
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hiccory, diccory, dock.
