All the day they hunted, And nothing could they find, But a ship a-sailing,A-sailing with the wind. MOTHER GOOSE MELODIES 71 One said it was a ship, The other he said, nay;The third said it was a house, And the chimney blown away. And all the night they hunted, And nothing could they find,But the moon a-gliding, A-gliding with the wind. One said it was the moon,The other he said, nay; The third said it was a cheese,And half ot cut away. THIS little Pig went to market;This little Pig staid at home;This little Pig had a bit of bread and butter;This little Pig had none ;This little Pig said, Wee, wee, wee !I cant find my way home. [Later and familiar version.] This little Pig went to Market,This little Pig staid Home,This little Pig had roast Beef,This little Pig had none,This little Pig cried wee, wee, wee,I cant find my way home. 72 MOTHER GOOSE
