A Melancholy Song
👵
Grandma can read this to you. Tap play and listen, or follow along as each line lights up.
Trip upon trenchers, And dance upon dishes, My mother sent me for some barm, some barm; She bid me go lightly, And come again quickly, For fear the young men should do me some harm. Yet didn't you see, yet didn't you see, What naughty tricks they put upon me? They broke my pitcher And spilt the water, And huffed my mother, And chid her daughter, And kissed my sister instead of me.

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candlestick.
