    "There came an old woman to pick them all off, pick them all off, pick them all off, there came an old woman to pick them all off, heigh-ho, pick them all off"
    "Old Rodger got up and he gave her a blow, gave her a blow, gave her a blow, Old Rodger got up and he gave her a blow, heigh-ho, gave her a blow"
    "He made the old woman go hippity hop, hippity hop, hippity hop, he made the old woman go hippity hop, heigh-ho, hippity hop"

  2. "The Old Woman from Sandy Land"
    One grown up person gets a number of small children and all catch hands. There is one person standing alone. All sing - "There came an old woman from Sandy Land
    With all her children by the Land.
    One can knit and one can sew
    And one can make a lily white bow
    One can sit by the fire and spin
    Please take one in".
