The Queen of Hearts
Language: English
The Queen of Hearts, She made some tarts, All on a summer's day; The Knave of hearts, He stole those tarts, And took them clean away. The King of Hearts Called for the tarts, And beat the knave full sore; The Knave of hearts Brought back the tarts, And vowed he'd steal no more.
