"I cannot whistle, mammy, I cannot make a sound." BELL HORSES Bell horses, bell horses, what time of day? One o'clock, two o'clock, three and away. TAFFY Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief, Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef; I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was not home; Taffy came to my house and stole a marrow-bone. I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was not in; Taffy came to my house and stole a silver pin; I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed, I took up the marrow-bone and flung it at his head. THE ROBIN The north wind doth blow, And we shall have snow, And what will poor robin do then, Poor thing? He'll sit in a barn, And keep himself warm, And hide his head under his wing, Poor thing!

She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed. A THORN I went to the wood and got it; I sat me down to look for it And brought it home because I couldn't find it. THE OLD WOMAN OF SURREY There was an old woman in Surrey, Who was morn, noon, and night in a hurry; Called her husband a fool, Drove the children to school, The worrying old woman of Surrey.
