Bye, Baby Bunting

Bye, baby bunting,
Father's gone a-hunting,
Mother's gone a-milking,
Sister's gone a-silking,
And brother's gone to buy a skin
To wrap the baby bunting in.

For a tortoise-shell cat--
And that's how the chronicle ends.

Hark! Hark! The Dogs Bark

Hark! Hark! The dogs bark,

And sent them out of the town.

Rock a Bye Baby

Rock a Bye Baby

Rock a bye, baby,
in the tree top.
When the wind blows,
the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby,
cradle and all.
