- 1. As I went out the guttery gap
I met a boy with a red cap
He was more afraid of a clocking hen
Than King George and all his men
Answer. A worm
2. Deep down in the earth is the place of my birth my face it is black but the home I make bright.
Answer. Coal.
3. I sat on my hunkers
And looks through my winkers
And saw the dead burying the live.
Answer. A woman raking the fire.
