  1. I had a little dog,
    And his name was Puff
    And I sent him down street
    For a box of snuff.
    He broke my box,
    And spilled my snuff,
    And ran away with my lady's muff.

    Ride a cock horse,
    To Banbury Cross,
    To see a young lady,
    Ride on a white horse,
    With rings on her fingers
    And bells on her toes
    And she will make music
    Wherever she goes.

    Huddy, Huddy, little horse,
    How many miles to Dublin,
    Three score and ten
    Won't we be there by candle light
    And chasing back again.
