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

Who Stole the Bird's Nest?As I was going to St. Ives
Twinkle Twinkle Little StarSee, saw, Margery Daw
The young linnetsPat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
The rose is red, the violet's blueI had a little dog, they called him buff
Here am I, little jumping JoanTo make your candles last for a
The fox and the farmerMy lady Wind, my lady Wind
A Apple PiePat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
Dame Duck's Lessons to her DucklingsThe old woman must stand at the tub, tub, tub
Little Tommy TittlemouseWilly boy, Willy boy, where are you going
What's the news of the dayBessy Bell and Mary Gray
Doctor FosterBow, wow, wow
Pease-pudding hotWhen little fred went to bed
Humpty dumpty sate on a wallThe old woman and her pig
Little Betty BlueUp hill and down dale
To market, to market, a gallop, a trotHigh diddle doubt, my candle's out
Two legs sat upon three legsThe barber shaved the mason
The Turtle Dove's NestRain, Rain, go to Spain
Little blue betty lived in a laneHushy baby, my doll, I pray you don't cry
Bah, bah, black sheepThree wise men of Gotham
There was a fat man of BombaySnail, snail, come put out your horn
Ding Dong BellThe north wind doth blow
One misty moisty morningThe marriage of cock robin and jenny wren
Up Hill, spare meThis Is the House That Jack Built
As I was going up Pippen-hillI had a little pony
