Billy Pringle had a little pig,
When it was young it was not very big,
When it was old it lived in clover,
Now it’s dead and that’s all over.
Billy Pringle he lay down and died,
Betty Pringle she lay down and cried,
So there was an end of one, two, and three,
Billy Pringle he, Betty Pringle she, and the piggy wiggy wee.

Sur le pont d’Avignon, Tout le monde y danse, danse; Sur le pont d’Avignon, Tout le monde y danse en rond.

London Bridge is broken down, Dance over my Ladye Lea; London Bridge is broken down: With a gay ladye. 2How shall we build it up again? Dance over my Ladye Lea; How shall we build it up again?

With a gay ladye.

CHARLEY OVER THE WATER

[Listen] [PDF] [MusicXML]

Over the water, and over the lea, And over the water to Charley; And Charley loves good ale and wine, And Charley loves good brandy, And Charley loves a pretty girl As sweet as sugar candy. 2 Over the water and over the sea, And over the water to Charley; I’ll have none of your nasty beef, Nor I’ll have none of your barley. But I’ll have some of your very best flour To make a white cake for my Charley.

I had four brothers over the sea, Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine; And they each sent a present unto me. Petrum, Partrum, Paradisi, Tempore, Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine. 2The first sent a goose without a bone, Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine; The second sent a cherry without a stone, Petrum, Partrum, Paradisi, Tempore, Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine. 3The third sent a blanket without a thread, Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine; The fourth sent a book that no man could read, Petrum, Partrum, Paradisi, Tempore, Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine. 4When the cherry’s in the blossom, there is no stone, Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine; When the goose is in the egg-shell, there is no bone. Petrum, Partrum, Paradisi, Tempore, Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine. 5When the wool’s on the sheep’s back, there’s no thread, Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine: When the book’s in the press, no man can read Petrum, Partrum, Paradisi, Tempore, Perrie,
