There was an old woman tossed up in a basket,
Ninety times as high as the moon;
And where she was going, I couldn’t but ask her,
For in her hand she carried a broom.
“Old woman, old woman, old woman,” quoth I,
“Whither, O whither, O whither so high?”
“To sweep the cobwebs off the sky!”
“Shall I go with you? “Aye, by-and-by.”

“There Was An Old Woman.”
There was an old woman
Called Nothing-at-all,
Who rejoiced in a dwelling
Exceedingly small:
A man stretched his mouth
To its utmost extent,
And down at one gulp
House and old woman went.

“Old Mother Goose.”
And then the gold egg was thrown into the sea,
When Jack he jumped in, and got it back presently.
The knave got the goose, which he vowed he would kill,
Resolving at once his pockets to fill.
Jack’s mother came in, and caught the goose soon,
And mounting its back, flew up to the moon.

“The Sow With The Saddle.”
The sow came in with the saddle,
The little pig rock’d the cradle,
The dish jump’d up on the table,
To see the pot swallow the ladle.

Threw the pudding-stick on the floor.
Odsplut! Said the gridiron,
Can’t you agree?
I’m the constable,
Bring them to me.

“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,
She whipped them all around, and sent them to bed.
