My Pretty Little One, My Pretty Honey One
Percy B. Green wrote "A History of Nursery Rhymes" (1899). He called this a "Henry VIII Rhyme"…
My Pretty Little One, My Pretty Honey One
Nursery Rhyme
My pretty little one, my pretty honey one,
She is a jolly one, and as gentle as can be;
With a beck* she comes anon,
With a wink and she is gone.
Notes
*A beck is a gesture indicating a command.
