A BOOK OF NURSERY RHYMES

Iron and steel will bend and bow
With a gay lady.


Build it up with wood and clay,
Dance over, my Lady Lee;
Build it up with wood and clay,
With a gay lady.


Wood and clay will wash away,
Dance over, my Lady Lee;
Wood and clay will wash away,
With a gay lady.


Build it up with stone so strong,
Dance over, my Lady Lee;
Huzza! 't will last for ages long,
With a gay lady.




When a twister a-twisting would twist him
a twist;
For twisting a twist, three twists he will
twist,
But if one of the twists untwists from the
twist,
The twist untwisting untwists the twist.
