- (continued from previous page)Upstairs downstairs laid in the hall
Bells on her fingers, cockles on her toes
Hit her in the middle and off she goes
A gun.Jenny Huttle in the puddle
With a green gown and a white peticoat
A rush.My back is bare my stomach is thin
And all my puddings lie outside my skin
And many is the man has travelled far and near
The news to hear that I have told.
A fiddle.As I went out on yonder gap
I met a boy with a red cap
A stone in his stomach a stick in his tail
If you don't riddle me that I'll bring you to jail.
A haw.I have a little red cow she is tied to the wall
She'd eat all the fodder from here to Donegal.
A fire
