- (continued from previous page)Here comes I that never came yet with big head and little wit.
Though my head is big my body is small, and I’ll do my endeavour to serve you’s all.Hears to them that is far away and not to them that is nigh. If a glass of beer would bring them here. I would drink the barrel dry.
Goosie goosie gander where do you wander, up stairs and down stairs that’s where I wander.Once upon a time when pigs were swine and turkeys chewed tobacco the streets were paved with penny buns and the houses thatched with pancakes.
Roll up, roll up, roll up,for another of the big haporths we bought them dear and we sold them cheap and they never grew in a grave gora Its two, for Rosie two for Micky, Jannie Paddy, Kitty. One for your wife and one to carry you home.
