How many miles to Babylon?
Hush-a-bye, baby, lie still with thy daddy
Hush-a-bye, baby, upon the tree top

I had a little husband no bigger than my thumb
I like little pussy, her coat is so warm
I’ll tell you a story / About Mary Morey
In April’s sweet month

Wash me and comb me
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town
We’ll go to the wood, says Richard to Robin
What care I how black I be?
When good King Arthur ruled his land
What’s the news of the day
When I was a little boy, I lived by myself
When I was a little boy, I washed my mammy’s dishes
When I was a little boy, my mother kept me in
When I was a little he
