Doctor FosterLittle Nancy Etticoat
Rain Rain Go AwayLittle Tommy Tucker
Twinkle Twinkle Little StarThere Was an Old Woman Who Lived Under a Hill
Hickety, pickety, my black henI had a little dog, they called him buff
Bow, wow, wowCome, let's to bed, says sleepy-head
Dame Duck's Lessons to her DucklingsTom, Tom, the Piper's Son
The walrus and the carpenterWhen the wind is in the east
There was a little man, and he had a little gunThe diverting history of John Gilpin
See, saw, Margery DawLittle Tom Tucker
Awa' birds, awayI had a little pony
Three children sliding on the icePoor dog bright
There was a jolly millerWhen i was a bachelor, i lived by myself
There was an old woman, and what do you thinkLet us go to the wood, says this pig
When little fred went to bedThere was a fat man of Bombay
A man went a hunting at ReigatePease-pudding hot
A carrion crow sat on an oakDance a baby diddit
Rain, rain, go awayYoung Lambs to sell
There was an old crowBat, bat, come under my hat
As I went to BonnerBah, bah, black sheep
Little polly flindersSome little Mice sat in a Barn
There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a ShoeTo market, to market, to buy a fat pig
Ride a cock-horseThere was a jolly miller
The barber shaved the masonHushy baby, my doll, I pray you don't cry
Jack Be NimbleGreat A, little A
