  1. High diddle, diddle the cat and the fiddle,
    The cow jumped over the moon
    The little dog laughed to see such fun,
    And the dish ran away with the spoon.
    Margaret Kenny.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
  2. Ding, Dong, Dill,
    Pussy in the well,
    Who put him in,
    Little Tomy Flynn,
    Wasn't that a naughty thing.
    To try to drown the poor pussy cat.
    Kathleen Brady.

  3. Goosey, goosey gander whither do you wander,
    Up stairs and down stairs in my lady's chamber,
    There I met an old man who
    wouldn't say his prayers,
    I caught him by the two legs
    And I threw him down the stairs.
    Agnes Gilligan.
