Nursery Rhymes

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

Up hill and down daleThere was a jolly miller
Three children sliding on the iceThere Was a Crooked Man
Pussy sits beside the FireSing a song of sixpence
I Love Little PussyAs I was going up Pippen-hill
A diller, a dollar, a ten o'clock scholarA, B, C, tumble down D
High diddle doubt, my candle's outMy little old man and I fell out
Rain, Rain, go to SpainA farmer went trotting upon his grey mare
Leg over legJack Sprat could eat no fat
When the wind is in the eastA man went a hunting at Reigate
Dickery, dickery, dareLittle polly flinders
Boys and girls, come out to playWe'll go a-shooting
Simple SimonDance to your daddy
Pease-pudding hotHe that would thrive
Bat, bat, come under my hatThe Turtle Dove's Nest
Tommy kept a chandler's shopJack Be Nimble
As I was going along, long, longCome, let's to bed, says sleepy-head
See, saw, Margery DawPat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
Humpty dumpty sate on a wallA little boy went into a barn
Little Nancy EtticoatDance a baby diddit
A Apple PieTaffy was a Welshman
I had a little ponyTwinkle Twinkle Little Star
One misty moisty morningThe fox and the farmer
A little cock sparrow sat on a treeLittle Tommy Tucker
I had a little Husband no bigger than my ThumbHot-cross Buns
