Tom, Tom the Piper's Son (Stole the Pig)

Tom, Tom the Piper's Son (Stole the Pig) - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Intro Image


Tom, Tom the piper's son,
Stole a pig and away he run,
The pig was eat,
And Tom was beat,
And Tom went howling
Down the street.

Notes

Here's the version from The Real Mother Goose (1916), illustrated by Blanche Fisher Wright:

Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Stole a pig, and away he run,
The pig was eat,
And Tom was beat,
And Tom ran crying down the street.
