BLUE BELL by ANONYMOUS

First Line: I HAD A LITTLE DOG AND HIS NAME WAS BLUE BELL
Last Line: HE CAME UP AGAIN AND SAID THERE WAS NONE THERE
I HAD a little dog and his name was Blue Bell,
I gave him some work, and he did it very well;
I sent him upstairs to pick up a pin,
He stepped in the coal-scuttle up to his chin;
I sent him to the garden to pick some sage,
He tumbled down and fell in a rage;
I sent him to the cellar to draw a pot of beer,
He came up again and said there was none there.
