- I cut it and in a pie I put it,
When it was three months old,
I searched for it very bold,
With fire and water I did it burn
With an iron bar I did it turn
I stripped it in its naked skin
And got a place to put it in.Answer - Pot of boiled potatoes.Out I went and in I came
Death I saw where lift was in
Six were set and the seventh came free
Come riddle me that or hanged I'll be.Answer: A robin's in a skull in a graveyard.
