THE OLD WOMAN WHO LIVED IN A SHOE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN AND SHE LIVED IN A SHOE
Last Line: AND WHEN SHE CAME BACK SHE FOUND 'EM ALL A-LOFFING
There was an old woman and she lived in a shoe,
She had so many children, and she didn't know what to do.
She crumm'd 'em some porridge without any bread
And she borrowed a bettle, and she knocked 'em all on the head.
Then out went the old woman to bespeak 'em a coffin
And when she came back she found 'em all a-loffing.
