    The Bonnie Brown Jug
    If I had a cow that'd give such milk
    As I got out of the Bonnie Brown Jug
    I'd feed her well with oats and hay
    And drink her dry nine times a day.
    Puzzles:
    As I went into the garden I met my uncle Davy
    I took my knife and gave him a rap
    And left him lying easy.
    Cabbage-head
    In the garden there was laid
    a pretty white maid
    As fresh and as fair as the moon
    She became a wife the first day of her life
    And died before she was born.
    Eve
    I sat at my wonderful window
    And I looked through my wonderful ring
    I saw the dead burying the living
    And that was a wonderful thing.
    The dead ashes over live coals.
