Can anyone help with a Danish Nursery Rhyme?

Can anyone help with a Danish Nursery Rhyme called “Madiesen”? I am unsure about the spelling.

Apparently it is about a young boy riding a pig and falling through the ice.

Thanks,

Tim

If anyone can help with the Danish lyrics, and/or an English translation, please comment below.

Thanks!

Lisa

   Hi Lisa
   This is the Danish rhyme inquired about (I think)

   Peter Mathiesen red på grisen
   over isen med avisen.
   Først gik isen
   så gik grisen
   og så gik lille Peter Mathiesen

   (roughly translated)
   Petert Mathiesen rode the pig
   across the ice with the newspaper
   First went the ice
   then went the pig and then went little Peter Mathiesen.

   I’m not aware of a tune, think it’s only a rhyme

   Thanks for the speedy response! If you’d like to record it, I’d be happy to post you (or someone else) reciting it!

   There is a melody but I unfortunaetly dont know it. I remember as much as that its published in the Danish childrens song book “De Smaa Synger” but I dont have it with me where I live at the moment, so I cant post it :(

   “Peter Mathiesen” isn’t in “De små synger” (nor in “Min første sangbog” either). So would the tune be to another song from the first one?
