"Simple Simon"

1. |
Simple Simon met a pieman,
Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
Let me taste your ware. |
|

2. |
Says the pieman to Simple Simon,
Show me first your penny;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
Indeed I have not any. |

3. |
Simple Simon went a-fishing,
For to catch a whale;
All the water he had got,
Was in his mother's pail. |

4. |
Simple Simon went to look
If plums grew on a thistle;
He pricked his fingers very much,
Which made poor Simon whistle. |
