  1. (continued from previous page)
    And now a man with brassy hood,
    Is driving him all through the wood?
    A needle with white thread in it sewing a button.
    89. Jenny of age sits in her cage,
    A little below the well,
    All her children died with age,
    Poor Jenny she is sitting there still?
    A tree.
    90 I have a little sister and she was called Peepidy Peep,
    She'd travel the mountain if it was ever so high,
    She'd travel the water if it was ever so deep,
    And my poor little sister she's blind of an eye?
    A star.
