NURSERY JINGLES

XXXII.

Shoe the colt,
Shoe the colt,
Shoe the wild mare.
But for the little foal,
Let her run bare.


XXXIII.

Ride a cock horse
To Banbury Cross,
To see an old woman
Upon a grey horse,
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
And she shall make music wherever she goes.


XXXIV.

Ride a cock horse
To Banbury Cross,
To see what Tommy can buy.
A white penny loaf,
A white penny cake,
And a twopenny apple pie.


XXXV.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth, without any bread,
And she whipped 'em all round and sent 'em to bed.
