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

The barber shaved the masonTo make your candles last for a
I Love Little PussyWhere are you going to, my pretty Maid?
Needles and pins, needles and pinsLittle polly flinders
I had a little dog, they called him buffSee Saw Margery Daw
Up hill and down daleLittle blue betty lived in a lane
Pussy sits beside the FireMy little old man and I fell out
The rose is red, the violet's blueBat, bat, come under my hat
Dance a baby didditPlease to remember
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's manTaffy was a Welshman
Swan swam over the seaHark, hark, the dogs do bark
Little Jack HornerLeg over leg
Jack Be NimbleA Apple Pie
As I was going to St. IvesHigh diddle doubt, my candle's out
This Is the House That Jack BuiltTo market, to market, to buy a fat pig
The north wind doth blowThe robin redbreasts
Old Mother HubbardThe young linnets
Bessy Bell and Mary GrayTwinkle Twinkle Little Star
Two legs sat upon three legsAs i was going up primrose hill
The old woman must stand at the tub, tub, tubPat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
Bah, bah, black sheepFour and twenty tailors went to kill a snail
Jack Sprat could eat no fatPease-pudding hot
Who Stole the Bird's Nest?Some little Mice sat in a Barn
Dickery, dickery, dareThere was an owl lived in an oak
Here am I, little jumping JoanGreat A, little A
