He was a goodly king;
He stole three pecks of barley meal
To make a bag-pudding.
A bag-pudding the king did make,
And stuffed it well with plums,
And in it put great lumps of fat
As big as my two thumbs.
The king and queen did eat thereof,
And noblemen beside,
And what they could not eat that night
The queen next morning fried.

死了一个男子
死了一个男子，
一个没出息的男子，
懒得动手把他埋在坟墓里。
头滚落在床下，
四肢散乱的在房间里
There Was A Man
There was a man, a very untidy man,
Whose fingers could nowhere be found
to put in his tomb.
He had rolled his head far underneath the bed;
He had left legs and arms lying
all over the room.

妈妈杀了我
妈妈杀了我，
爸爸吃了我，
兄弟姐妹坐在餐桌底下，
拣起我的骨头，
埋在冰冷的石墓里。
My Mother Has Killed Me
My mother has killed me,
My father is eating me,
My brothers and sisters sit under the table,
Picking up my bones,
And they bury them
under the cold marble stones.
Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
This is the end
Of Solomon Grundy.
Three blind mice! See how they run!
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a thing in your life
As three blind mice?

Lizzie Borden took an axe,
Hit her father forty whacks.

She hit her mother forty-one.
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

唱一首六便士之歌
唱一首六便士之歌，
袋子里装满黑麦；
二十四只黑画眉，
被放在派里面烤！
当派被剥开，
画眉开始唱歌；
那可不是放在国王桌前，
十分可口的一餐吗？
国王在帐房数钱；
王后在客厅吃面包蜂蜜。
女仆在花园晒衣；
一只黑画眉飞来，
啄走了她的鼻子。
Sing A Song of Sixpence
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four-and-twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie!
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing;
Was not that a dainty dish
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting-house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And snapped off her nose.

从前有个皮包骨头的女人，
当然你从没听说过这样的女人：
一切发生在某一天，
这位女士去教堂作祷告。
当她来到教堂阶梯，
她停下来作了个小小的休息；
当她来到教堂墓园，
她听见地狱的呻吟声是如此响亮。
当她来到教堂的门口，
她停下来又作了个小小的休息；
当她进入教堂，
牧师正抗拒着虚荣与罪恶作着祷告。
上看，下看，
她看见地上躺着一个死人；
从他的鼻子到下巴，
蛆们爬出，
蛆们蠕进。
然后她对牧师说，
我死后会变成这样吗？
噢，是的！
噢，是的，牧师说道，
你死后就会变成这样。

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
There came a big spider,
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away
