- Kitty in the garden
Spreading out clothes
Down came the magpie
And snapped of her nose
She swore by the cross
That she would never go to Mass
And the magpie came
And left back her nose.

- Decency and Decency were never decent
Decency went to Decency's house
When Deccency was not within
Decency killed Decency's wife
And he never was decent againUp the hill and down the valley
A little woman pounding cally.
