All of the lyrics to the most traditional nursery rhymes with their origins, history and meanings.

Hey! diddle, diddleWilly boy, Willy boy, where are you going
Rain Rain Go AwayUp Hill, spare me
Needles and pins, needles and pinsA diller, a dollar, a ten o'clock scholar
Hush-a-bye, babyPat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
For every evil under the sunDing Dong Bell
Hickety, pickety, my black henEarly to Bed and Early to Rise
As i was going up primrose hillA Apple Pie
Pease-pudding hotSing a Song of Sixpence
There was a little man, and he had a little gunWho Stole the Bird's Nest?
The rose is red, the violet's blueYoung Lambs to sell
Jack Be NimbleAs I was going up Pippen-hill
Multiplication is vexationElizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy and Bess
As Tommy Snooks and Bessy BrooksThere was a jolly miller
My lady Wind, my lady WindLittle Jack Horner
Dickery, dickery, dareLittle Bo Peep
There was an owl lived in an oakThe fox and the farmer
The old woman must stand at the tub, tub, tubOld father Graybeard
Boys and girls, come out to playRain, rain, go away
A man went a hunting at ReigateGeorgie Porgie
Humpty dumpty sate on a wallThe young linnets
Little Nancy EtticoatOld King Cole
Little Miss MuffetSee Saw Margery Daw
Dickery, dickery, dockLittle Tom Tucker
There was an old woman toss'd up in a basketLittle blue betty lived in a lane
