Here is what we have:

Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, Have you any wool?

Baby, I lie and gaze on thee, All other thoughts forgot

Care may with time on me descend

Dance my baby diddy, what shall thy mother with thee!

Ding dong Bell, Pussy's in the well

Goosey, goosey gander

Here's a poor widow from Babylon, with six poor children all alone

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Hush-a-by baby on the tree top

I had a little nut tree, nothing would it bear, but a silver nutmeg and a golden pear

I saw a ship a sailing, a sailing on the sea

Lady bird, lady bird, flay away home….Pussy cat, Pussy cat, where have you been?

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep and can't tell where to find them

Little boy blue, come blow me your horn

Little Tommy Tucker Sing for your supper

Oh who is so merry so merry, heigh ho! As the light hearted fairy? Heigh ho, heigh ho!

One two buckle my show, three four, open the door

Pretty maid, pretty maid, where have you been?

Ride a cock horse to Banbary Cross… [and] See Saw, Margery Daw, baby shallhave a new master

See saw Margery Daw, sold her bed to lie upon straw

Sing a song of sixpence A picket full of rye

The fox jumped up on a moonlight night, the stars were shinging, and all things bright

The grey goose she ran round the hay stack. "OhHo!" said the fox, you are very fat

The hart he loves the high wood, the hare she loves the hill

There was a little man, and he had a little gun

Three blind mice, see how they run

When good King Arthur rules this land

Where are you going, my pretty maid; with your sunny eyes and golden hair?

Where are you going? said Robin to Bobbin
