11There was an old woman went up in a basketThere was an old woman lived under a hill,
22Seventy times as high as the moon,And if she’s not gone, she lives there still,
33What she did there I could not but ask itBaked apples she sold, and cranberry pies,
44For in her hand she carried a broom.She’s the old woman that never told lies.
55"Old woman, old woman, old woman," said I,
66"Whiter, o whither, o whither so high?"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
77"To sweep the cobwebs from the sky,She had so many children she didn’t know what to do,
88And I shall be back again by-and-by."She gave them some broth without any bread;
9She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

11There was an old woman called Nothing-at-all,
12Who lived in a dwelling exceedingly small.
13A man stretched his mouth to its utmost extent,
14And down at one gulp house and old woman went.
