X. PRIMROSE HILL

As I was going up Primrose Hill,
Primrose Hill was dirty,
There I met a pretty miss,
And she dropped me a curtsey.

Little miss, pretty miss,
Blessings light upon you.
If I had half-a-crown a day,
I'd spend it all upon you.


XI. GREEN AND AIRY AROUND

There was an old woman lived under a hill,
Green and airy around.
There was an old woman lived under a hill,
And she had good ale and beer to sell.
With a clack, hurry-scurry, scurry whack!
Green and airy around.

She had an old man and he wore a wig,
Grey and hairy around.
A cat and a dog and a fat little pig.

She had a daughter, her name it was Nan,
Plump and bonny around.
And Nan would laugh with woman or man.

There came a trooper a-riding by,
Red and hairy around.
He called for drink because he was dry.
