The seeds was black, the ground was white,
Riddle me that and I'll give you a pipe

A stick on his head a stone in his middle
Riddle me that and I'll give you a fiddle
(A haw)As round as an apple
As flat as a pan

Through an old spinning wheel
Through a bag of pepper
Through a mill hopper
Through an old horse's shin bone
