Tom Thumb's AlphabetTo market, to market, to buy a fat pig
Little Nancy EtticoatThe death and burial of poor cock robin
There was a jolly millerHigh diddle doubt, my candle's out
Great A, little ADance a baby diddit
Bah, bah, black sheepHush-a-bye, baby
Freddie and the cherry-treeThree wise men of Gotham
Georgie PorgieJack and Jill went up the hill
There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a ShoeOld mother Hubbard
Sing a Song of SixpenceRain Rain Go Away
The fox and the farmerThere was an old woman, and what do you think
See, Saw, Margery DawUp Hill, spare me
I had a little dog, they called him buffAs I was going along, long, long
Goosey, goosey, gander, whither shall i wanderOld King Cole
Needles and pins, needles and pinsAs I went to Bonner
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's manThe robin redbreasts
Little Tommy TuckerPease-pudding hot
Old father GraybeardLittle Tom Tittlemouse
A man went a hunting at ReigateDance to your daddy
Tommy kept a chandler's shopThere was an old woman called Nothing-at-all
Old woman, old woman, shall we go a shearingThe marriage of cock robin and jenny wren
Handy Spandy, Jack-a-dandyAs Tommy Snooks and Bessy Brooks
The young linnetsThe north wind doth blow
What's the news of the dayMy little old man and I fell out
My lady Wind, my lady WindJack Sprat's pig
