Nursery Rhymes

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

Taffy was a WelshmanThe robin redbreasts
Dance to your daddyThe barber shaved the mason
Hickety, pickety, my black henEarly to Bed and Early to Rise
Little Tom TuckerLet us go to the wood, says this pig
Old King ColeThere was a jolly miller
Bat, bat, come under my hatThere was an old crow
Multiplication is vexationThe old woman must stand at the tub, tub, tub
See, Saw, Margery DawSimple Simon
I had a little hobby horseDance a baby diddit
Tom Thumb's AlphabetThere was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe
As I went to BonnerSing a song of sixpence
Elizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy and BessThere was an old man of Tobago
The marriage of cock robin and jenny wrenNeedles and pins, needles and pins
Rain, rain, go awayYoung Lambs to sell
As Tommy Snooks and Bessy BrooksA farmer went trotting upon his grey mare
Is John Smith withinThe young linnets
I Love Little PussyA frog he would a-wooing go
Hush-a-bye, babySee Saw Margery Daw
Little Tom TittlemousePoor old Robinson Crusoe
Jack and Jill went up the hillLittle girl, little girl, where have you been
Come, let's to bed, says sleepy-headThe man in the moon
Four and twenty tailors went to kill a snailHot Cross Buns
Freddie and the cherry-treeTo market, to market, to buy a fat pig
Jack Be NimbleDickery, dickery, dock
