MOTHER GOOSE MELODIES 77 Z\)t Cat &at Asleep THE cat sat asleep by the side of the fire,The mistress snored loud as a pig :Jack took up his fiddle, by Jennys desire, And struck up a bit of a sow came in with the saddle,The little pig rocked the cradle,The dish jumpd over the table,To see the pot with the broom behind the buttCalld the dish-clout a nasty slut : Odds-bobs, says the gridiron, cant you agree ? Im the head constable,—come along with me. BOBBY SHAFTO is gone to sea,With silver buckles at his knee;When hell come home hell marry me,Pretty Bobby Shafto! Bobby Shafto is fat and fair, Combing down his yellow hair;Hes my love forevermore ! Pretty Bobby Shafto!. 78 MOTHER GOOSE MELODIES TOM he was a pipers son,He learnd to play when he was young,And all the tunes that he could play,Was Over the hills and far away, Over the hills, and a great way off,And the wind will blow my topknot off. Now Tom with his pipe made such a noise,That he pleasd both the girls and the boys,And they stoppd to hear him play Over the hills and far away. Tom with his pipe did play with such skill,That those who heard him could never keep still;Whenever they heard they began for to dance,Even pigs on their hind legs would after him prance. As Dolly was milking her cow one day, Tom took out his pipe and began for to play; So Dolly and the cow danced the Cheshire round, Till the pail was broke and the milk ran on the ground. He met Old Dame Trot with a basket of eggs,He used his pipe and she used her legs;She danced about till the eggs were all broke,She began for to fret, but he laughed at the joke.
