I Had a Little Boy and Called Him Blue Bell
Some versions have the boy in this rhyme as a dog instead, called I Had a Little Dog and His Name Was Blue Bell.
I Had a Little Boy and Called Him Blue Bell
Nursery Rhyme
I had a little boy,
And called him Blue Bell;
Gave him a little work,--
He did it very well.
I bade him go upstairs
To bring me a gold pin;
In coal scuttle fell he,
Up to his little chin.
He went to the garden
To pick a little sage;
He tumbled on his nose,
And fell into a rage.
He went to the cellar
To draw a little beer;
And quickly did return
To say there was none there.
