Traditional Nursery Songs. 13
But sit in a lap,
And give ye some pap ?
Danty baby diddy.
D ID you not hear of Betty Pringle's pig! It was not very little or yet very big; The pig sat down upon a dunghill, And there poor piggy he made his will.
Betty Pringle came to see this pretty pig, That was not very little nor yet very big; This little piggy it lay down and died, And Betty Pringle sat down and cried.
Then Johnny Pringle buried this very pretty pig, That was not very little nor yet very big, So here's an end of the song of all three, Johnny Pringle, Betty Pringle, and little Piggy.
D IDDLE, diddle, dumpling, my son John Went to bed with his breeches on; One shoe off, the other shoe on, Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John.
