Sing a Song of Sixpence
by Mother Goose
Sing a Song of Sixpence features Walter Crane's illustrations from The Song of Sixpence Picture Book (1909).Sing a song of sixpence, A pocket full of rye.Four and twenty blackbirds, Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened, The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish, To set before the king?
The king was in his counting house, Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour, Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden, Hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird And pecked off her nose.
