I HAD A LITTLE NUT TREE
by unknown
I had a little nut tree,
Nothing would it bear,
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear.
The King of Spain’s daughter
Came to visit me,
And all for the sake
Of my little nut tree.
Her dress was made of crimson,
Jet black was her hair,
She asked me for my nutmeg
And my golden pear.
I said, “So fair a princess
Never did I see,
I’ll give you all the fruit
From my little nut tree.”
Alternative verse:
I skipped over water,
I danced over sea,
And all the birds in the air
Couldn’t catch me.
THE MAN IN THE WILDERNESS ASKED ME
by unknown
The man in the wilderness asked me,
How many strawberries grew in the sea.
I answered him as I thought good,
as many as red herrings grew in the wood.
ON YONDER HILL THERE STANDS A TREE
by unknown
On yonder hill there stands a tree;
Tree on the hill, and the hill stood still.
And on the tree there was a branch;
Branch on the tree, tree on the hill, and the hill stood still.
And on the branch there was a nest;
Nest on the branch, branch on the tree, tree on the hill,
and the hill stood still.
And in the nest there was an egg;
Egg in the nest, nest on the branch, branch on the tree,
tree on the hill, and the hill stood still.
And in the egg there was a bird;
Bird in the egg, egg in the nest, nest on the branch,
branch on the tree, tree on the hill, and the hill stood still.
And on the bird there was a feather;
Feather on the bird, bird in the egg, egg in the nest,
nest on the branch, branch on the tree, tree on the hill,
and the hill stood still.
