As I did walk by Hampstead Faire

I came upon Mother Goose so I turned her loose she was  screaming
D                                                                                                 
And a foreign student said to me

Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun 
               G                    Em          C                 G D                     
Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing intoHankerchiefs as one 
  F                               D                                                             
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy

If you start your raving and your misbehaving you'll be sorry
D                                                                                                 
Then the chicken fancy came to play

With his long  red beard and his sister weird
             D

Back down by the putting green I popped them in their holes

Four and twentylaborers were laboring and digging up Their gold
