There was an old woman had three sons
The following is part of a comic song called 'Success to the Whistle and Wig,' intended to be sung in rotation by the members of a club.

Jerry, and James, and John:
Jerry was hung, James was drowned,
John was lost and never was found,
And there was an end of the three sons,
Jerry, and James, and John!”
