The Cow

THE COW

The friendly cow all red and white,
I love with all my heart:
She gives me cream with all her might,
To eat with apple-tart.

She wanders lowing here and there.
And yet she cannot stray,
All in the pleasant open air,
The pleasant light of day;

And blown by all the winds that pass
And wet with all the showers,
She walk among the meadow grass
And eats the meadow flowers.

Jingle by G. G. Wiederseim

Jingle.
by G. G. Wiederseim.

Papa's a-riding away to town
To buy my mama a beautiful
gown
With laces and ruffles and rib-
bons of red,
And a dear little bonnet to put 
on her head.

Singing

SINGING

Of speckled eggs the birdie sings
And nests among the trees;
The sailor sings of ropes and things
In ships upon the seas.

The children in far Japan,
The children sing in Spain;
The organ with the organ man
Is singing in the rain.

The Cradle That Walked On Two Feet

THE CRADLE THAT 
WALKED ON TWO FEET

The Japanese sister jumps rope all the
day,
And skips 'round the yard in her Japa-
nese play.
While tied on her back is her brother,
dear me!
His head is as wobbly as wobbly can be!

Little Miss Crewe...


Little Miss Crewe
Has lost her shoe,
And can't tell where to find it.
Move out the chest,
And cease the quest,
For doggy 
and she
are 
behind it.

Down the path...


"Down the path and up the lane,
And through the neighbor's gate,
Oh people going out to dine
Should never start too late..."

The pudding-bag string...

Sing, sing! what shall we sing?
The cat's run away with the pudding-bag string...
