Little birds flying high
dropping something from the sky,
Oh said the farmer wiping his eye

My great-grandfather was born in Newbattle.

the other day, on the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away

My Mam used to sing to me and my daughter -

There was a little man and he had a little gun
Across three fields he did run
With a bellyful of fat and a billycock hat
And a pancake tied to his bum bum bum!

Thum people thay I talk with a lithp
But I don't think tho
Coth I can thay black thop white thop yellow thop and thoda

Lady S it sounds better if you say it my mum was always saying it in her very posh voice and saying it properly she gave up with me :-D :-D

from my granny

Good king Dagobert ,
put his breeches on backwards;
Good king Dagobert ,
put his breeches on backwards;
The great saint Eloi
says to Him: "Oh my king!
Your Majesty is badly trousered.
It is true, says the king,
I will put them on again.

tho' I learnt this:

Le bon roi Dagobert,
Avait sa culotte à l’envers,
Le bon roi Dagobert,
Avait sa culotte à l’envers,
Le grande saint Éloi,
Lui dit : « Ô mon roi,
Votre Majesté est mal culottée !
- C’est vrai, lui dit le roi,
Je vais la remettre à l’endroit.

The things that stick in your mind.

Mary had a little lamb.
It's fleece was black as soot,
And into Mary's bread and jam,
His sooty foot he put.

There was a young man of Salisbury.
Whose manners were halisbury scalisbury.
He wandered round Hampshire without any pampshire.
Til the Bishop of Salisbury said "Walisbury!"

Mary had a little lamb
She locked it in the closet
And when she let it out again
It had left a small deposit

:-)

Apologies to eRRol if that insulted any of his rellies

Mary had a little sheep
and with her it used to sleep.
The sheep turned out to be a ram.
Mary had a little lamb.
