- (continued from previous page)Green gravel, green gravel,
The grass is so green,
The fairest of ladies that ever were seen
We'll wash them, we'll comb them
We'll dry them in silk,
And we'll write down there names
With a gold pen and ink.Pussy cat, pussy cat,
Where have you been?
Up in London to see the Queen,
The queen did not like me,
No more than the king.
So dear little pussy cat,
Came back again.Little Jackie Ginger,
Married a wife for silver,
He caugh a stick and broke her back
And threw her out the window.Inky, Pinky, Polly, my father bought
A dolly. Dolly died father cried
Inky, Pinky, Polly.Clap hands, clap hand till Daddy comes home
Daddy has money, Mammy has none.(continues on next page)
