Lilliburlero (0138 of 1000)


 

A burley bull
with lilies in its horns

There was an old woman, whisked up in a basket,
Seventeen times as high as the moon.
And where she was going, I couldn’t but ask it,
for in her hand she carried a broom.
Old woman, old woman, old woman, said I,
O whither, o whither, o whither so high?
To sweep the cobwebs off the sky,
May I go with you? Aye, bye and bye.
