8 Traditional Nursery Songs.
B
YE, O my baby! When I was a lady, O then my poor babe didn't cry! But my baby is weeping, For want of good keeping, Oh, I fear my poor baby will die !
AN you make me a cambric shirt, Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, Without any seam or needle work? And you shall be a true lover of mine, Can you wash it in yonder well,
Parsley, &c. Where never sprung water, nor rain ever fell ?
And you, &c.
Can you dry it on yonder thorn,
Parsley, &c. Which never bore blossom since Adam was born?
And you, &c.
Now you have ask'd me questions three, Parsley, &c.
