If Wishes were Horses
wishes were horses, beggars would ride;
If turnips were watches, I would wear one by my side.
Clap Handies
Clap, clap handies,
Mammie’s wee, wee ain;
Clap, clap handies,
Daddie’s comin’ hame;
Hame till his bonny wee bit laddie;
Clap, clap handies,
My wee, wee ain.
Taffy was a Welshman
Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief;
Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef;
I went to Taffy’s house, Taff was not at home;
Taffy came to my house and stole a marrow bone.
I went to Taffy’s house, Taffy was not in;
Taffy came to my house and stole a silver pin;
I went to Taffy’s house, Taffy was in bed,
I took up the beef bone and flung it at his head.
