Simple Simon

SIMPLE SIMON met a pieman

Going to the fair.

Says Simple Simon to the pieman,

“Let me taste your ware.”

Says the pieman to Simple Simon,

“Show me first your penny.”

Says Simple Simon to the pieman,

“Indeed, I have not any.”

Simple Simon went a-fishing,

For to catch a whale.

All the water he had got

Was in his mother’s pail!
