children’s rhymes

Tumble down and round and round
While sister was a-singing
I tumbled round and round and round
The bells upon me jingling.

—————————————-

If I had but one bit of gold
I’d set my sights on you dear
but I have not one bit of gold
to share with you in this world, dear.

—————————————-

The day was long and longer still
And yet I saw her smiling
When all around slept near the hill
I heard her voice start chiming,

“Oh all is well and beautiful
For today I have my life
Nothing quite as horrible
As to be somebody’s wife.

I’m free and free and free today
I work and toil with glee
Nobody to anger, no one in the way
I answer only to me.”
