There was a monkey

There was a monkey climb'd up a tree,

When he fell down, then down fell he.

There was a crow sat on a stone

When he was gone, then there was none.

There was an old wife did eat an apple,

When she'd ate two, she'd ate a couple.

There was a horse a-going to the mill,

When he went on, he stood not still.

There was a butcher cut his thumb,

When it did bleed, the blood did come.

There was a lackey ran a race

When he ran fast, he ran apace.

There was a cobbler clouting shoon

When they were mended. they were done.

There was a chandler making candle

When he them strip, he did them handle

There was a navy went into Spain,

When it return'd it came again.
