There was an old Woman Nursery Rhyme lyrics, origins and history There was an old woman, As I've heard tell, She went to market Her eggs for to sell; She went to market All on a market day, And she fell asleep Upon the King's Highway.
There came by a pedlar Whose name was Stout, He cut her petticoats All round about; He cut her petticoats Up to her knees, Which made the little old woman To shiver and freeze.
When the little old woman First did wake, She began to shiver And began to shake. She began to wonder, She began to cry, "Lauk a daisy on me, this can't be I!"
"But if it be I, As I hope it may be, I have a little dog at home And he'll know me If it be I He will wag his little tail, And if be not I, He will loudly bark and wail."
Home went the little woman All in the dark, Up got the little dog And he began to bark. He began to bark; So she began to cry, "Lauk a daisy on me this is none of I." There was an old Woman Nursery Rhyme lyrics, origins and history |
