    1. Hark, hark, the dogs do bark,
    Beggars are coming to town,
    Some in rags and some in jags,
    And some in velvet gowns.
    2. A swarm of bees in May,
    Is worth a load of hay,
    A swarm of bees in June
    Is worth a silver spoon,
    A swarm of bees in July
    Is not worth a fly.
    3 Sing, Sing, what shall I sing
    The cat ran away with the pudding string.
    4 Old Daddy Miller lived by himself as the wheel went round he made his wealth
    With the hand in the hopper and the other in the bag
    As the wheel went round he made his grab
