A Kiss When I Wake

A kiss when I wake in the morning
A kiss when I go to bed,
A kiss when I burn my fingers,
A kiss when I bump my head.
A kiss when my bath begins
A kiss when my bath is over,
My mamma is as full of kisses
As nurse is full of pins.
A kiss when I pull her hair,
A kiss when I play with my rattle;
She covered me all over with kisses
The day that I fell down stair.
A kiss when I give her trouble,
A kiss when I give her joy;
There's nothing like mamma's kisses
To her own little baby boy.

A sailor went to sea sea sea

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea.
To see what he could see, see, see.
But all that he could see, see, see.
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.

And I'll give you a slice of bacon;

Cradle Song
Leep, sleep, beauty bright,
Dreaming in the joys of night;
Sleep, sleep; in thy sleep
Little sorrows sit and weep.
Sweet babe, in thy face
Soft desires I can trace,
Secret joys and secret smiles,
Little pretty infant wiles.
As thy softest limbs I feel,

Smiles as of the morning steal

O'er thy cheek, and o'er thy breast
Where thy little heart doth rest.
O the cunning wiles that creep
In thy little heart asleep!
When thy little heart doth wake,
Then the dreadful night shall break.

Fiddle De Dee
Fiddle-de-dee, Fiddle-de dee,
The Fly has married the humble bee
Says the fly, says he,
Will you marry me ,
And live with me, sweet humble bee?
Says the bee, says she,
I'll under your wing
And you'll never know that I carry a sting

Had joined the pair,
They both went out
To take the air.

The Fly has married the humble bee
And the flies did buzz,
And the bells did ring;
Did ever you hear
So merry a thing?

And then to think
That of all the flies,
The humble bee
Should carry the prize!

Has twenty nails, upon each hand
Five, and twenty on hands and feet:
All this is true, without deceit.

Gentle Jesus Meek And Mild

Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon this little child:
Pity my simplicity,
Suffer me to come to thee.
Fain I would to Thee be brought,
Gracious God, forbid it not
In the kingdom of Thy grace
Grant Thy little child a place.

Hush Little Baby

Hush little baby, Don't say a word.

If that Mocking bird don't sing,
Daddy's going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring don't shine,
Daddy's going to buy you a looking-glass.
If the looking-glass get's broke,
Daddy's going to buy you a billy-goat.

When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the bow breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

I'LL sing you a song,
Though not very long,
Yet I think it as pretty as any.
Put your hand in your purse,
You'll never be worse,
And give the poor singer a penny.

The Bees Sneeze and Wheeze

The bees
Sneeze and wheeze,
Scraping pollen and honey
From the lime tree.
The ants
Hurries and pants,
Storing up everything
They wants.
What does the bee do?
Bring home honey.
And what does Father do?
Bring home money.
And what does Mother do?
Lay out the money.
And what does baby do?
Eat up the honey.

The Months
January brings the snow,
Makes our feet and fingers glows.
February brings the rains,
Thaws the frozen lake again.
March brings breezes sharp and chill,
Shakes the dancing daffodil.
April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daisies at our feet.
May brings flocks of pretty lambs,
Sporting round their fleecy dams.

June brings tulips, lilies, rose,

Fills the children's hands with posies.
Hot July brings thunder-showers,
Apricots, and gilly-flowers.
August brings the sheaves of corn;
hen the harvest home is borne.
Warm September brings the fruit;
Sportsmen then begin to shoot.
Brown October brings the pheasant,
Then to gather nuts is pleasant.
Dull November brings the blast,
Hark! the leaves are whirling fast.
Cold December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire, and Christmas treat.
