I had a little cow, to save her, I turned her into the meadow to graze her; There came a heavy storm of rain, And drove the little cow home again.

Bow, wow, wow, Whose dog art thou? Little Tom Tinker's dog, Bow, wow, wow.
Pitty Patty Polt, Shoe the wild colt! Here a nail; And there a nail; Pitty Patty Polt.

Bobbin-a-Bobbin bent his bow, And shot at a woodcock and kill'd a yowe: The yowe cried ba, and he ran away, But never came back 'till midsummer-day.
