Nursery Rhyme. CXLIV. Songs.

    Jeanie come tie my,
    Jeanie come tie my,
    Jeanie come tie my bonnie cravat;
    I've tied it behind,
    I've tied it before,
    And I've tied it so often, I'll tie it no more.

Nursery Rhyme. CLXIII. Songs.

    As I was going up the hill,
        I met with Jack the piper,
    And all the tunes that he could play
        Was "Tie up your petticoats tighter."

    I tied them once, I tied them twice,
        I tied them three times over;
    And all the songs that he could sing
        Was "Carry me safe to Dover."

Nursery Rhyme. CXLVII. Songs.

    Johnny shall have a new bonnet,
        And Johnny shall go to the fair,
    And Johnny shall have a blue ribbon
        To tie up his bonny brown hair.
    And why may not I love Johnny?
        And why may not Johnny love me?
    And why may not I love Johnny
        As well as another body?
    And here's a leg for a stocking,
        And here is a leg for a shoe,
    And he has a kiss for his daddy,
        And two for his mammy, I trow.
    And why may not I love Johnny?
        And why may not Johnny love me?
    And why may not I love Johnny,
        As well as another body?

    Did you see my wife, did you see, did you see,
        Did you see my wife looking for me?
    She wears a straw bonnet, with white ribbands on it,
        And dimity petticoats over her knee.

    I'll buy you a tartan bonnet,

    Tartan trews and a phillibeg,
    Because you are so like your daddy.
