    For counting Tig.
    Eetel otel wee black bottle,
    Eetel otel out,
    If you had been
    Where I had been,
    You would not have been put out.

    As I went up an apple tree,
    All the apples fell on me,
    Bake a pudding,
    Bake a pie
    Stand you out by.
    III
    I have a little birdy in my pocket,
    I will not give it to you, or you, or you.
    But I will give it to you.
