Nursery Rhymes

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

Little Boy BlueThere was an old woman toss'd up in a basket
Freddie and the cherry-treeA carrion crow sat on an oak
Willy boy, Willy boy, where are you goingDance to your daddy
When i was a bachelor, i lived by myselfA little boy went into a barn
High diddle doubt, my candle's outI had a little hobby horse
He that would thriveThe Turtle Dove's Nest
Jack Sprat's pigHey! diddle, diddle
I Love Little PussyUp Hill, spare me
Barber, barber, shave a pigA frog he would a-wooing go
Bessy Bell and Mary GrayA, B, C, tumble down D
I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seenTom, Tom, the Piper's Son
There was an old woman called Nothing-at-allThe death and burial of poor cock robin
Dance a baby didditSee, Saw, Margery Daw
Jack Sprat could eat no fatAs Tommy Snooks and Bessy Brooks
I had a little Husband no bigger than my ThumbMy little old man and I fell out
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's manThere was an old man of Tobago
When little fred went to bedAs I was going to St. Ives
Come, let's to bed, says sleepy-headLittle Tom Tittlemouse
The walrus and the carpenterHey! diddle, diddle
Pussy sits beside the FireHushy baby, my doll, I pray you don't cry
There Was an Old Woman Who Lived Under a HillThe robin redbreasts
There was an old woman, as I've heard tellLittle Miss Muffet
Little Tommy TittlemouseThere was an old crow
Old mother HubbardOld King Cole
