Sing a Song of Sixpence

The music for this Nursery Rhyme is available in the

Triola English Music Volume 1

Sing a song of sixpence,

A pocket full of rye.

Four and twenty blackbirds,

Baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened,

The birds began to sing.

Wasn’t that a tasty dish,

To set before the king?

The King was in his counting-house,

Counting out his money.

The Queen was in the parlour,

Eating bread and honey.

The maid was in the garden,

Hanging out the clothes.

When down came a blackbird,

And pecked off her nose.
