As I Went to Bonner

As I Went to Bonner - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Intro Image


As I went to Bonner
I met a pig
Without a wig,
Upon my word and honor.

Notes

Here's a slightly different version from The Little Mother Goose (1912), illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith:

Upon My Word and Honor

Upon my word and honor,
As I went to Bonner
I met a pig,
Without a wig,
Upon my word and honor.
