 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.
