Hey rub-a-dub, ho rub-a-dub, three maids in a tub, And who do you think was there ?The butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker, And all of them gone to the fair. To be sung in a high wind. Arthur OBower has broken his band,And he comes roaring up the land,King of Scots with all his powerNever can… … Hush-a-bye, baby, upon the tree top,When the wind blows the cradle will rock;When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,Down tumble cradle and baby and all. Daffy-down-dilly is new come to town,With a petticoat green, and a bright yellow gown,And her white blossoms are peeping around. 45
