For want of a nail

A Collection of lyrics for traditional nursery rhymes and songs for kids.

For want of a nail

For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For want of a horse the rider was lost,
For want of a rider the battle was lost,
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
