Nursery Rhymes

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

Who Stole the Bird's Nest?Humpty dumpty sate on a wall
To market, to market, to buy a fat pigA diller, a dollar, a ten o'clock scholar
See, saw, Margery DawTwo legs sat upon three legs
Tommy kept a chandler's shopHot-cross Buns
Up hill and down dalePlease to remember
Sing a Song of SixpenceSome little Mice sat in a Barn
A little boy went into a barnThere was a jolly miller
Poor old Robinson CrusoeThe rose is red, the violet's blue
Oh! mother, I shall be married to Mr. PunchinelloAs i was going up primrose hill
This Is the House That Jack BuiltElizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy and Bess
Dance to your daddyIs John Smith within
Little Betty BlueLittle Tommy Tittlemouse
Hushy baby, my doll, I pray you don't cryThe marriage of cock robin and jenny wren
Sing a song of sixpenceOld woman, old woman, shall we go a shearing
A Apple PieThere was an owl lived in an oak
A man went a hunting at ReigateLittle Tommy Tucker
Little Jack HornerWhen i was a bachelor, i lived by myself
Jack and Jill went up the hillOld father Graybeard
There Was an Old Woman Who Lived Under a HillA carrion crow sat on an oak
Young Lambs to sellA, B, C, tumble down D
Tom Thumb's AlphabetI Love Little Pussy
I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seenOld King Cole
Jack Sprat could eat no fatAs I was going along, long, long
A little cock sparrow sat on a treeMy lady Wind, my lady Wind
