Mary had a little lamb

MARY'S LAMB

Mary  had  a  little  lamb,

Its  fleece  was  white  as  snow;

And  everywhere  that  Mary  went,

The  lamb  was  sure  to  go.

It followed her to school one day

Which was against the rule;

I made the children laugh and play,

To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned him out,

But still he lingered near,

And waited patiently about,

Till Mary did appear.

.

And then he ran to her and laid,

His head upon her arm,

As if he said, 'I'm not afraid -

You'll shield me from all harm.'

'What makes the lamb love Mary so?'

The little children cry;

'O Mary loves the lamb, you know,'

The teacher did reply.

'And you each gentle animal,

In confidence may bind,

And make it follow at your call,

If you are always kind.

MISTRESS  MARY

Mistress  Mary  quite  contrary,

How  does  your  garden  grow?

With  silver  bells  and  cockle  shells,

And  pretty  maids  all  in  a  row.

DEEDLE,  DEEDLE,  DUMPLING

Deedle,  deedle,  dumpling,  my  son  John,

He  went  to  bed  with  his  stockings  on

One  shoe  off  and  one  shoe  on,

Deedle,  deedle,  dumpling,  my  son  John.

PUSSYCAT,  PUSSYCAT

Pussycat,  Pussycat,  where  have  you  been?

I've  been  to  London  to  visit  the  Queen;

Pussycat,  Pussycat,  what  did  you  there?

I  frightened  a  little  mouse  under  a  chair.
