    As I went up Tara Hill,
    Tara Hill was shaken,
    Twenty four blackbirds racking up the rackings
    (A harrow)
    Jenny in the ditch,
    Jenny out of the ditch,
    If you go near Jenny, she will bite you
    (A nettle)

    Trick, Tray and Trim,
    Which was the bitche's name?
    (Which)
