Little Maid, Little Maid

Little Maid, Little Maid - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Intro Image


Little maid, little maid,
Whither goest thou?
Down in the meadow
To milk my cow.

Notes

Here's the version from The Real Mother Goose (1916):

Little Maid, Pretty Maid, Whither Goest Thou?

"Little maid, pretty maid, whither goest thou?"
"Down in the forest to milk my cow."
"Shall I go with thee?" "No, not now;
When I send for thee, then come thou."
