  1. The pig is on the mire,
    The cow is on the grass,
    The man without a wife is better than an ass,
    "Let me up" says the woman,
    "Let me down" says the man,
    If I had a hammer I would hammer the bottom of an old tin can.
    I bought a pound of bacon.
    I fried it on the pan,
    No one will eat it but myself and Mary Anne.
    Margaret Gilligan.
