All of the lyrics to the most traditional nursery rhymes with their origins, history and meanings.

Twinkle Twinkle Little StarPat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
See, saw, Margery DawThere was an old woman, and what do you think
Dickery, dickery, dockLittle Bo Peep
Hark, hark, the dogs do barkRain Rain Go Away
Rain, rain, go awayValentine, oh, valentine
The death and burial of poor cock robinThree children sliding on the ice
Bat, bat, come under my hatThe old woman and her pig
Old woman, old woman, shall we go a shearingI Love Little Pussy
Hot-cross BunsWhen i was a bachelor, i lived by myself
The diverting history of John GilpinHushy baby, my doll, I pray you don't cry
Goosey, goosey, gander, whither shall i wanderWhen little fred went to bed
Jack Sprat could eat no fatHey! diddle, diddle
Four and twenty tailors went to kill a snailTwo legs sat upon three legs
There Was a Crooked ManA carrion crow sat on an oak
The man in the moonDance to your daddy
What's the news of the dayHey Diddle Diddle
The old woman must stand at the tub, tub, tubAs I was going along, long, long
Willy boy, Willy boy, where are you goingPoor dog bright
Baa, Baa, Black SheepI had a little hobby horse
Needles and pins, needles and pinsA Apple Pie
Jack Sprat's pigThe walrus and the carpenter
See, Saw, Margery DawLittle girl, little girl, where have you been
Up Hill, spare meThere was an old woman, as I've heard tell
Little Miss MuffetFor every evil under the sun
