JACK THE PIPER by MOTHER GOOSE

First Line: AS I WAS GOING UP THE HILL
Last Line: WAS, 'CARRY ME SAFE TO DOVER'.
As I was going up the hill,
I met with Jack the piper;
And all the tune that he could play
Was, 'Tie up your petticoats tighter'.

I tied them once, I tied them twice,
I tied them three times over;
And all the song that he could sing
Was, 'Carry me safe to Dover'.
