When I was a little boy, I lived by myself,And all the bread and cheese I got I put upon a shelf;The rats and the mice, they made such a strife,I was forced to go to London to buy me a wife.The streets were so broad, and the lanes were so narrow,I was forced to bring my wife home in a wheelbarrow… … Sins;, Sino;! What shall I sins:? The Cats run away with the Pudding-Bag String. When I was a little boy,I washed my mammys dishes,Now I am a great boy I roll in golden riches.
